New Delhi, Aug. 15 -- Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, made a striking arrival in Alaska's Anchorage, sporting a USSR sweatshirt as he arrived for what Trump called the "HIGH STAKES" talks between the POTUS and Russian President Valdimir Putin, on Friday.

Stepping out of a black vehicle as part of Moscow's high-powered delegation, the Russian Foreign Minister was seen sporting a black gilet over a sweatshirt emblazoned with "CCCP" - an abbreviation of the Russian-language cognate of USSR.
