Thate i recap the meeting i had with foreign minister lavrov that i want to note that the Trump Administration has taken action with human rights violators and it is only appropriate that i mentioned them on National Human rights day. This extends our commitment to hold individuals accountable for gross human rights abuses accountable. I will speak more about that tomorrow. Now turning to our meeting. Last may, at President Trumps request i made a trip to russia. The reason was straightforward.
