The United States will “pursue” Russia’s latest offer to discuss at the presidential level a prisoner swap involving imprisoned basketball star Brittney Griner, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.
A day after a Russian court sentenced Griner to nine years in prison for a drugs offence, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday Moscow was ready to discuss prisoner swaps with the US through an existing diplomatic channel.
“They are prepared to engage” on a swap for Griner, Blinken said at a foreign ministers’ meeting in Cambodia on Friday.
