I hope that Foreign Minister Lavrov and I can make progress on that," Pompeo said in an interview to One America news Network that aired on Monday.
"One of the areas that the President has asked us to work on is business-to-business relationships. We'll try to work on those. There are arms control issues between our two countries."
