US State Secretary Hillary Clinton is satisfied with the course of
Russian-American relations over the last few months. Commenting on
the relations of Moscow and Washington in her interview to NBC’s
Tom Brokaw, Clinton said that she is very satisfied with the results
noticed recently.
"I’m very pleased at what we’ve seen thus far. As we have famously
said, we wanted to reset the relationship, and we wanted to work with
the Russians wherever we could, narrow the areas of disagreement,
stand up where we must against some of what we thought were their
excessive behavior.
"But I think that when it comes to nuclear disarmament, we’re in
the midst of complex, important negotiations over reduction of our
nuclear arsenals. We work together on everything from North Korea to
Armenia and Turkey. I think that they fully appreciate that we’re not
always going to agree, but that at least the Obama Administration,
and certainly the President and myself, are showing them the respect
that they deserve to have and are looking for ways that we can work
together," said the US Secretary of State.
