Trump says he may scrap Russia sanctions
AFP via Yahoo ^ | January 14th, 2015 | Unattributed

Washington (AFP) - President-elect Donald Trump has hinted that he may lift sanctions on Russia and won't stand by the "One China" policy unless Beijing improves its currency and trade practices.

Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Friday that he would keep intact "at least for a period of time" sanctions President Barack Obama's administration imposed on Russia last month over Moscow's alleged cyberattacks to influence the US election.

But, if Russia helps the US on key goals such as fighting violent extremists, Trump suggested he may scrap the punitive measures altogether.

He also said he was prepared to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin after taking office January 20.

Trump, who sees an opportunity to cooperate with Moscow in fighting jihadist groups like Islamic State, has expressed admiration for Putin, and only reluctantly accepted US intelligence's conclusion that Russian hackers acting on Putin's authority interfered in the US elections.

Turning to the longstanding US practice of not recognizing Taiwan diplomatically, Trump said: "Everything is under negotiation, including One China."

I hope so, the price of Russian ammo and guns will come back down.
Saiga rifles went from $450 to over $1000

They still have a warrant out for him.

If anyone had any doubts that we are not dealing with a political animal here you are. In the midst of MSM and Linda and McTraitor trying to assert Trump was in cahoots
with Russia to steal the election Trump states he may lift
Obummers political motivated sanctions. Trump seems be willing to do what he believes is right no matter the possible political fallout when he knows the MSM will pounce on him. Damn refreshing after Bush the timid.

Good luck with that, they have their own agenda and it runs counter to the citizen’s best interests.

I submit for your censorship a VANITY now one month old which I think is relevant to this thread.

Kindly advise me whether you will approve this humble offering as doctrinally sound in keeping with the dominating rules for posting which require that submissions be aligned with the President-elect's positions rather than with conservative values which might indeed be venerable but, alas, are now out of fashion.

Scrap it President Trump. Russia is not the enemy, Islam and their Obama allies are. The demrats are spoiling for war with Russia because Russia is the chief threat to Islam.

Russia is not our friend, neither. But at least we do share common interests, and we should work together when it’s beneficial. But as the old Russian proverb says, “Trust, but verify”.

Yes, I confidently predict that you will have at least one independently conceived thought in 2017.

Make nice with Russia. China is a bigger problem and threat. This meme about Trump being a Russian Manchurian candidate is so over the top that low info voters/leftists won’t go for it.
This whole Trump-Russian spy story is a result of blame shifting by the 0bama/Hitlery/DNC criminal syndicate as a means of diverting attention from their evil deeds and lax computer security.
The effects and metrosexuals at the CIA and fake media have been outed.
