Bush, Putin arrange trip for US economic advisers to go to Russia Help is on the way <gg> Futures World News - July 06, 2001 13:35 Kennebunkport, Maine, July 6 (AP) - President Bush told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a brief conversation Friday that senior administration officials will travel to Russia following the two leaders' planned meeting at the economic summit in Europe later this month. * * * White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said that in the 10-minute conversation, Bush said that National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Commerce Secretary Donald Evans and Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill would travel to Russia on the heels of the summit, to take place in Genoa, Italy. The focus of the trip will be to discuss ways to improve Russia's economy. The president and Putin also discussed the cease-fire in Macedonia, missile defense, and the status of economic sanctions against Iraq, Fleischer said. "He recognizes there are new threats in the 21st century and the U.S. is not a threat," Bush said of Putin. A day earlier, Iraq said it would resume oil exports after accepting the terms of a new Security Council resolution. Facing a veto by Russia--Iraq's key ally on the Security Council--Britain and the U.S. dropped their sanctions proposal on Tuesday and instead supported an extension of the oil-for-food program. Putin, who met Bush for the first time in Slovenia last month, offered the president congratulations on his 55th birthday and this week's celebration of American independence. End
