‘Was he fired? You are kidding’: Russia’s foreign minister responds to question about Comey’s firing
Thomson Reuters
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov appeared to mock reporters Wednesday morning after they asked about the news that FBI Director James Comey had been fired by President Donald Trump the previous day.
“Was he fired?” Lavrov said in apparent feigned shock after hearing a question on whether Comey’s firing would cast a shadow over his talks with the Trump administration Wednesday.
“You are kidding, you are kidding,” he said, rolling his eyes.
Lavrov had briefly greeted journalists alongside Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Wednesday morning. The men shook hands in front of the cameras as reporters attempted to ask questions.
“I want to welcome Foreign Minister Lavrov to the State Department and express my appreciation for making the trip to Washington so that we can continue our dialogue and our exchange of views that began in Moscow,” Tillerson said, before ushering Lavrov away.
Lavrov is set to meet with Trump Wednesday morning in the Oval Office to discuss the creation of “de-escalization zones” inside Syria.
