00:00We've had one telephone conversation, the Kremlin says there might be another one,

00:04there might be some face-to-face talks. How do you see things unfolding from here?

00:07Well, it sure sounds like they want to meet. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than

00:11this, just one phone call. This is the one that we know of. And, you know, I think that with the

00:17recent release of the American who was unjustly detained as well by Moscow in recent days,

00:25we're likely to see an acceleration of moves on diplomacy. If there's one thing we've seen

00:30from this administration is that they want to move fast on a lot of the most difficult

00:34and controversial items on their checklist. And so I would not at all be surprised

00:39if we saw a face-to-face meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin relatively soon.
