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."

And the baby in Davos is stillborn.
Yea! GO TRUMP GO!
Scrap anything that has Obumbles name on.
Glad to hear it!
Trump causing msm heads to spin.
Trump makes the world come round - to reality.
The New World Order is crumbling. No wonder they’re freaking out in DC and around the world.
Good!
There is no reason, no U.S. Strategic interest, that requires a hostile relationship with Russia.
None whatsoever.
Here’s to a new, realistic, stable and constructive relationship with Russia.
The likes of Soros, Obama and Clinton want a war with Russia.
24 hours is “a period of time”.
This would make McCain go fully on psycho, not that he wouldn’t anyway. If his head burst on camera, like in the movie Scanners, America would be a better place.
“If you like your space station. You can keep your space station”.
It is true. Despite all their hard work, Hillary still lost. And that is why the DEMOCRATS now want to attack Russia. The DEMS are treating the loss as a CONTRACT VIOLATION by the Russians.
The details of how Russia supposedly interfered in our elections are still non-existent. And the pronouncements of high-level political appointees in the intelligence agencies are not actually comparable to intelligence analysis.
NOOOOOOoooo!!
None whatsoever.
+1
The new, New World Order sees China as a natural adversary and potential enemy, and Russia as a natural ally.
NATO is most certainly dead.
This turns everything in the world on it’s ear.
Notice how Yahoo worded that statement. They’re boxing it in the form of Donald Trump supposedly admitting his election win was a farce based on intel. Bull squeeze. Like you said, the Intel was bogus, but like any leftist rag, they’re going to run with the ball regardless of it being flat and deflated.
Preferably in week one.
