Washington Post: Trump and Putin are discussing military cooperation in Syria. Mattis says Russia must ‘prove itself first.’
BRUSSELS — Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Thursday that Russia will need to “prove itself first” before the United States and other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are willing to let their armed forces collaborate, potentially complicating efforts by President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to cooperate in the fight against the Islamic State in Syria.
Mattis, speaking at NATO’s headquarters in Brussels, told reporters that the conditions are not right presently for U.S. and Russia forces to work together. The Pentagon and the Kremlin all but broke contact entirely in 2014, after Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula prompted international outcry.
“We are not in a position right now to collaborate on a military level, but our political leaders will engage and try to find common ground or a way forward so that Russia, living up to its commitment, can return to a partnership of sorts here with NATO,” Mattis said.
