Russia and America: new challenges

Meeting of Moscow political club dedicated to Russian-American relations. According to press reports, at a recent meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden, the U.S. side suggested the Russians to try to return to the "normal course" of relations, which sharply deteriorated in 2012. The adoption of the "Magnitsky Act" in the U. S., the expulsion of American foundations which were the sponsors of the activities of some Russian NGOs from Russia, the ban on citizens of the United States from adopting Russian orphans, including those with disabilities, finally, the ban on imports of U.S. meat products - this is just the tip of the iceberg grown from the "frozen" Russian-American projects
