The question is just how much Trump will be made to add to the war.
Hes persistent, however the system is stronger, Medvedev added.Russian deputy Leonid Slutsky, the head of the State Dumas Foreign Affairs Committee, suggested that there might be an opportunity for relations between Moscow and Washington to improve as the Republican group does not intend to keep funneling American taxpayers money into a proxy war against Russia.What will Donald Trumps new presidency and the arrival of his group in the White House imply for U.S.-Russia relations?
