Re-elected Trump may open door to U.S.-Russia talks, Russian envoy says

Russia's U.N. Ambassador Gennady Gatilov made the statement, as Reuters reports.

According to him, Donald Trump's election may create an opportunity for renewed dialogue between Russia and the United States, though Washington’s primary goal remains to restrain Moscow.

"Regardless of domestic political shifts, (Washington) consistently pursues a sense of containing Moscow...the change of administration does little to alter it," said Gennady Gatilov.

"The only potential change might be a renewed dialogue between our countries, which has been absent in recent years," he added.
