The White House is working to set up an official visit between President Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, prompting critics to question the timing of such a rendezvous.
"When [Secretary Mike] Pompeo has gone to Russia, [Vladimir] Putin has seen him. And one of the things that we've said with the Chinese and the Russians and others is we want reciprocity. And so Putin's met with ... Pompeo. I think as a matter of reciprocity, that's something we're looking at. But we're also looking at some other things. And we'll see if we can get there," O'Brien continued.
O'Brien took over the National Security Adviser role in September after the abrupt ousting of his predecessor, John Bolton. He is Trump's fourth National Security Adviser since taking office. O'Brien went on to discuss how Saturday's prisoner exchange for a Princeton University graduate student who had been held in Iran since 2016 was not a precondition for any future diplomatic talks with the Middle East nation's adversarial government. Despite Trump pushing a"maximum pressure campaign" on Iran, O'Brien reiterated that the president is open to direct talks with the Iranian government.Russia as"not an ally.
