Washington's comments come in the backdrop of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi.
Asked about the reports that the US is proposing the Danube River route as an alternative to the Black Sea grain corridor, Patel said it is the US goal and hope that Russia returns to the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
“We want the Black Sea Grain Initiative to be up and running again, we know that it worked," Patel said. Erdogan said last Monday while returning from a trip to Russia's coastal city of Sochi where he met Putin, that he believes a “good result” will be reached soon on the revival of the grain deal.
