US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will attend the Wednesday meeting of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US President Donald Trump in Washington DC, a US State Department official told Sputnik.
On Tuesday, media reported that Lavrov would meet Trump during the working visit to the United States. The meeting was later confirmed by a White House official and the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"I can confirm Secretary Tillerson will attend the White House meeting with President Trump and Foreign Minister Lavrov," the official said Tuesday.
