Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev says he hope U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will take some of the strain out of relations between Washington and Moscow.
In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations after the the G20 economic crisis summit in Washington, Medvedev said he'd welcome discussing America's missile shield plans, a key point of contention between the two countries. The day after Obama's election victory, Medvedev announced plans to deploy missiles in Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave which borders Nato members Poland and Lithuania.
