WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 27th March, 2019) The United States is trying to find common interests to improve its diplomatic relationship with Russia and to achieve better outcomes on pressing global issues like Syria and travel security, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Congress on Wednesday.

"We are trying to find places where we can find a shared overlapping set of interests with Russia, so that we can get better outcomes. If we can get to a better outcome in Syria by talking and working with them; if we can find ways to ensure that Americans who are flying on aircraft traveling around the world aren't harmed by Chechens out of Russia and the surrounding region, those are good things. It's not only a good thing that we are dealing with the Russians, it's necessary and proper," Pompeo said during his testimony before the House Appropriations Committee.
