AFP: Bolton hails 'very comprehensive and productive' talks in Russia

US National Security Advisor John Bolton on Tuesday praised "productive" talks with President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials during a two-day trip to Moscow.

"I had a series of very comprehensive and productive discussions," he told a press conference after the visit, which follows US President Donald Trump's announcement he will pull out of a nuclear arms treaty with Russia.

A 90-minute meeting with Putin touched on the conflict in Syria and alleged election meddling by Russia as well as Trump's decision on the arms treaty, Bolton said.

"We discussed our continuing concern with Russian meddling in elections and why it was particularly harmful for Russian-American relations without producing anything in return," he said.
