Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi, Russia next week, according to the State Department.
-snip-
The meeting also follows the abrupt cancellation on Tuesday of a meeting between Pompeo and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany. The State Department cited "pressing issues" at the time.
Pompeo met with Lavrov earlier this month. The two held talks in Finland May 6, which Russian media said made the phone call between Trump and Putin possible.

They won't meet with Merkel but vlad snaps his fingers and gets long, personal phone calls and in person chats and visits.

Maybe he gets to sit in Putin's chair? That alone would be worth the trip for Pompeo
