AFTER TRUMP, USA-RUSSIA RELATIONS

The relationship between the world’s two superpowers had been on the brink of rupture for a long time. Following the election of US President Donald Trump, the ice began to slowly melt.

The initial meeting took place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, at the level of foreign ministers. The two countries initially decided to take steps towards opening their embassies.

These meetings are happening for the second time in Istanbul. The first meeting in Istanbul took place on February 27, addressing the normalization of relations between the two countries in the context of embassy operations at the US Consulate General in Istanbul.
