More reason I hope Trump after Jan 20 will personally attend Astana meeting (Jan 23), and, in fact, will, additionally, have a one-on-one meeting with Putin about this mess. These will be critical initial meetings in relation to the incoming US admin’s inclination & resolve in & for that specific region.
It is important. It would be good if confirmation of Rex Tillerson was in place. He already knows Putin and the oil industry impact on this whole region. It is key to the whole ball of wax.
