"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a 2010 interview on Russian television with Vladimir Pozner that the Obama administration wanted to "help strengthen Russia."
"What is being done to make it easier for Americans to come to Russia and for Russians to visit America?" Pozner asked.
"Well, we want to encourage a lot more travel and a lot more exchanges," Clinton responded.
"As we move forward and we get more experience between our two countries and facilitating business travel, tourism travel, education travel, every kind of travel, I think it will become, at least I hope, easier and easier."
"Many of our businesses want to have their business leaders come and have open-ended visas and similarly a lot of Russians want to be able to come and have as much time as they need," Clinton continued.
"That's what I would like to work towards."
"One of the fears that I hear from Russia is that somehow the United States wants Russia to be weak," Clinton added.
"That could not be farther from the truth. Our goal is to help strengthen Russia."
