Sergey Lavrov was speaking at a news conference with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto.
'We
have been following the situation in the US,' Lavrov said. 'We can see
that many of the major foreign policy issues that Donald Trump has
mentioned overlap with what President Putin has been saying about
Russia's foreign policy priorities.
'Donald
Trump seems to focus on advancing the United States' core interests
rather than promoting various ideas and interfering in other countries'
internal affairs. This is actually the essence of Russia's foreign
policy.'
Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday that President Donald
Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin see eye-to-eye on foreign
affairs
Lavrov added that Russia and Trump
share the goal of defeating Islamic State. He called the fight against
ISIS 'a major priority' for both the United States and Russia.
Lavrov said, however, that he wants to
wait until Trump's team is 'completely formed' and the administration
'officially clarifies its position on the main global issues' before
moving forward,
TASS reported.
Larvrov said that he wants to wait until Trump's team is 'completely formed' before speaking with the administration
The
foreign minister said that the Obama Administration formed some 'red
flags and minefields' before leaving office, making communication
between Moscow and Washington, DC, 'seriously complicated'.
He said Russia is ready to bring relations between the countries 'back to normal'.
'It
will only be possible if relations are based on equality, mutual
respect and the search for the balance of interests in the fields where
we have common goals, such as the war on terror,' he added.
Trump,
who has praised Putin, has signaled he wants to improve strained ties
with Russia despite US intelligence agencies alleging the Kremlin chief
ordered a cyber campaign to help him beat rival Hillary Clinton to the
White House.
Russia denies it tried to
sway the US election by hacking or other means. It has also dismissed as
a fabrication a dossier written by a former British spy which suggested
Moscow had collected compromising information about Trump.
Lavrov
dismissed the dossier's author, Christopher Steele, as 'a fugitive
charlatan from MI6' and said the dossier looked like part of a campaign
to cause problems for Trump and his allies. Putin last week called the
same dossier a hoax.
While cautioning
that the new US administration would need to settle in before wider
conclusions could be drawn, Lavrov signalled he was encouraged by the
tenor of the Trump team's statements so far which he said suggested it
would be possible to have a pragmatic relationship.
Lavrov was speaking at a news conference with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto on Monday
'Trump
has a particular set of views which differ a lot from his predecessor,'
said Lavrov, who accused the Obama administration of wrecking
co-operation across a swath of areas and of trying to recruit Russian
diplomats as agents.
'By concentrating on a pragmatic search for mutual interests we can solve a lot of problems.'
On
Tuesday, Putin took a parting shot at the Obama administration accusing
it of trying to undermine Trump's legitimacy with fake allegations and
'binding the president-elect hand and foot to prevent him from
fulfilling his election promises'.
Putin
voiced hope that 'common sense will prevail' and Russia and the United
States will be able to normalize relations once Trump takes office
Friday.
'I don't know Mr Trump,' Putin
said. 'I have never met him and I don't know what he will do on the
international arena. I have no reason whatsoever to assail him,
criticize him for something, or defend him.'

This is nothing more than lipstick on a pig until the real problem in the outhouse is faced!
The United States of America does not have "Citizens" and leaders.
It has "Slaves" and what are known as Owners. Owned by the Federal Reserve System, is exactly what they are.
http://www.silverdoctors.com/headlines/finance-news/this-is-definitely-an-asset-that-you-want-to-own/
Unquestionably, it will have to be removed like a cancer since the Federal Reserve has written all the rules.
They are all liars, including and especially Kennedy who wanted a cashless world. (Should it miss your notice that your leader meets with cashless sponsor Modi?)
So don't act like government is there for you, you people really must start separating entirely from that.
Are people losing their minds? Trump is the same, he's only in there because people put his feet to the fire.
He may be a step in the right direction, but what do you think all of you are? That's right you are citizens and that means you are collateral to the central bank for whatever they deem to extract.
Are you brainwashed that you don't think you are?
We don't have a concern as we no longer are citizens AT ALL and intend to keep it that way, which is quite tough. Anyone who enters chamber court is a citizen.
All the rest of you better wake up.
All of you are indeed citizens if you in fact are putting service leaders into this bankrupt municipal corporation.
You cannot belong to both. Nor can you hide!!
This isn't arguable.
A citizen belongs to the Federal Reserve/IMF.(New Republiqu)
A non-citzen or state citizen belongs to the Republic.
It isn't in dispute, go look it up.

You folks need to remember this!
The Pope (the present one is Pope Francis - no 266 and a Jesuit to boot) is a sovereign of the Vatican City.
He's also leader of a flock of sheep (some poor American sheep gets bitten and assassinated terribly so by his CIA - originally Catholic Intelligence Agency initiated and run by the Jesuits in over 70 Countries)
1. Considering the idea of followers and their leaders isn't the idea to educate, grow and emulate attributes of such leaders?
2. What's with populism - does the Pope not like his followers to be independent and sovereign like himself?
3. Hasn't the dinosaurs in the Vatican understood that humanity has come of age?
Very recently President Donald Trump gave the American people permission to think with our own minds again. It's hard to understand why so many are complaining about it when the Creator gave it to us.
