"Foreign Minister Lavrov and I agreed we would consider further proposals made about the way forward in Syria, including consulting with our allies and coalition members." Tillerson said in the news conference.
Tensions between Moscow and Washington have further aggravated over Syria after the U.S. missile strike on a Syrian military airfield Thursday, which it claims to be in response to the alledged Syrian government's chemical weapons attack last Tuesday in Khan Sheikhoun.
Earlier in an interview broadcast on Wednesday before the meeting with Tillerson, Putin said that mutual trust between Russia and the U.S., especially on the military level, had eroded in the first few months of Trump's presidency.
Putin's view was share by Tillerson who, on the first visit by the Trump cabinet to Russia, said that ties between the two countries were at a low point marked by serious distrust.
"There is a low level of trust between our two countries. The world's two foremost nuclear powers cannot have this kind of relationship," he said in the news conference, adding that Moscow and Washington had agreed to establish a working group to identify problems and improve bilateral relations.
With a shared willingness to mend the battered ties, Russia and the U.S. agreed on Wednesday to work together on an investigation of the Syrian chemical weapons attack, although the divergence in their stances have not changed much.
