CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a covert trip to Moscow this week, meeting with Russian intelligence chief Sergey Naryshkin. The visit was allegedly an effort to warn Russian against attacking a NATO country, according to some media outlets.
Trump dismissed these reports as media hype. "I am not concerned at all. There is no problem," he told Axios when asked about a possible Russian provocation against NATO nations.
The president called Ratcliffe's trip "standard business." The CIA director meets his Russian counterpart "once every six months or once a year," they have "a very good relationship."
Naryshkin confirmed the meeting, calling it "a regular part of their work" and said they discussed "intelligence matters."
