Washington, Moscow Have Common Interests, Bush Said
The United States and Russia have common interests and work together on those common interests, U.S. President George W. Bush made clear during a news conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington, February 14, 2007.
When asked about Russia, Bush emphasized that the views of Moscow and Washington on NATO are quite different but the two countries have common goals and common interests and work together on those common interests.
Making Iran not to pursue nuclear arms program is one of the concerns and Russia’s leadership in the issue is vital, Bush said. Russia was also constructive in reaching the deal on nuclear program of North Korea. Moreover, Russia and the United States are very close in terms of proliferation.
Bush said the relations of Moscow and Washington are rather complicated. “It’s a relationship in which there are disagreements. But there’s also a relationship in which we can find common ground to solve problems. And that’s the spirit I’ll continue to work with Vladimir Putin on,” Bush said as quoted by The Washington Post.
