(18,623 posts)To be clear, Lavrov was already set to be at the White House on Wednesday to meet with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. But Trumps sudden last minute decision to set up his own meeting with Lavrov, which was not on the schedule, suggests that the change is related to James Comeys firing.
