The issue of sanctions was not raised during the talks that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had with U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tuillerson on May 10, Lavrov said.

“We don’t discuss sanctions. This is not our problem. These are unilateral actions, which were undertaken against us,” Lavrov said after the talks in Washington.
