WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Relations between the United States and Russia are not doomed to Cold War rivalry, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in remarks to the World Economic Forum on Tuesday.
"It’s not the case that we are doomed to a Cold War rivalry," Pompeo said.
Speaking further, the senior official said that the United States and Russia must engage in direct dialogue to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
"These two nations are the largest possessors of nuclear capability in the world. Russia is a formidable power in that we respect and we understand that. We need to ensure that there are conversations taking place so that we can prevent both proliferation and the rest that comes with the possession of those nuclear weapons," Pompeo said.
