Russian envoy: Bad relations with US unlikely to improve
None
Russia's UN ambassador says relations between Moscow and Washington are "practically non-existent," which he says is bad not only for both countries but for the world, and he sees little prospect for improvement anytime soon.
Vassily Nebenzia said in a recent wide-ranging interview with a small group of journalists that the Trump administration should offer some incentives to North Korea to move forward toward denuclearization, saying the situation "is stalemated at the moment."
Russia and China have backed an easing of sanctions to spur momentum, but the US insists that North Korea must first make major steps toward eliminating its nuclear program.
