Secretary of State Tillerson in Talks with Russian Counterpart
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Moscow, Kremlin officials denied any contact with the Trump campaign
in the run-up to November's election. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
Lavrov is meeting Trump's newly minted secretary of state, former Exxon
Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, during talks in Bonn today. Tillerson is
expected to confront Lavrov over Russia's annexation of the Ukrainian
province of Crimea in 2014.
