Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov Monday at the Arctic Council meetings in Finland. After the meeting, Lavrov again warned against a “reckless military solution” in Venezuela. Russia has stood by the government of President Nicolás Maduro during the ongoing political crisis, while the U.S. has supported opposition leader Juan Guaidó and calls to overthrow Maduro. The Trump administration has refused to take military intervention off the table.
