The Trump administration official confirmed NBC News on the conditions of anonymity that Russia did not want to involve Kelloga in negotiations.

US National Security Council James Guitt said NBC News that Kellogo is a « valuable part of the team, especially in negotiations with our European allies. »

In the public space, Kellogo had previously appeared last week when he said that the new approach of Donald Trump administration regarding the Russian Federation is envisaged need to restart relationships.
