Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he remains ready to travel to the US for a meeting with his counterpart Donald Trump despite a politically charged US election campaign.

According to him, nearly 10 months after his first telephone conversation with the US president, a concrete invitation to Washington has not arrived yet.

“I was told it is being prepared,” Zelensky told the Guardian in a rare interview, to be published in full on Saturday. “It’s hard for me to hear that. I am a person who works to deadlines. Our diplomats are discussing it with American diplomats. I would like us to have a fruitful meeting”, UNIAN news agency reported.

Zelensky admitted it was “unpleasant” to hear reports that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had made comments questioning whether Americans cared about Ukraine, but insisted the US official had brought personal assurances of support during a visit to Kyiv earlier this year. “The US is supporting us,” he said. “I want them to support us more strongly.”

Zelensky also discussed his unwanted role in the attempted impeachment of Trump and his relations with the US following the conclusion of the trial.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Former governor of Texas and US Energy Secretary Richard Perry resigned on Sunday, according to an official statement. He will be replaced by Dan Brouillette, who was backed by the Senate in advance.

Perry had been in the Trump administration as Secretary of Energy since March 2017. He announced his resignation after reports suggested he was behind the controversial 25 July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which is at the center of the US House’s ongoing impeachment inquiry.

Dan Brouillette, who will take over from Perry, has been serving as US Deputy Secretary of Energy since August 2017. He was born in 1962 in Paincourtville, Louisiana and graduated from the University of Maryland.

Brouillette is a US Army veteran, who has been active in the private sector and also served in government agencies – he was Assistant Secretary for Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs in the US Department of Energy from 2001 to 2003, and also served as Rep. Billy Tauzin’s legislative director and Chief of Staff.

Dan Brouillette was backed by the Senate in advance, Iran News citing Sputnik.
