Russian FM says Putin and Trump want to go past 'abnormal relations'

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump want to end tensions that have blighted U.S.-Russian ties since the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister said Monday on the eve of high-level talks with U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia.

In a phone call last week, "Putin and Trump agreed on the necessity of leaving behind absolutely abnormal relations," Sergei Lavrov said, adding that "the presidents agreed dialogue needs to be resumed."
