US Secretary of State. File photoWASHINGTON, May 22U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, speaking to Georgetown University alumni, quoted a song by American singer Taylor Swift, jokingly hinting that Washington might not restore relations with the Russian leadership. “Indeed, Taylor Swift performed at the graduation ceremony at New York University. Unfortunately, my team did not allow me to bring my guitar to dedicate the performance of the song “We are never ever getting back together” to President Putin,” Blinken said to laughter and the applause of the graduates. According to Blinken, such a move on his part would be «undiplomatic and cringeworthy.» «By the way, since when did the word 'cringe' become an adjective?» the US Secretary of State jokingly asked.
