Global Geopolitical Series: Trump bashes those rejecting better relations with Russia

President Trump triggered quite a media furor when he said after his meeting with Russian President Putin that he believed President Putin when he assured Mr. Trump that Russia didn’t interfere in the 2016 election in the United States. Though, he backtracked later saying that he believes the report presented by at least three U.S. intelligence agencies that accused Russia of meddling in 2016 election.

However, he kept calling for a better relationship between the United States and Russia just like he was during the 2016 election campaign. He took to Twitter to reiterate his belief that a better relationship with Russia will help the United States in solving tons of global problems.

He said, “When will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. There always playing politics - bad for our country. I want to solve North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, terrorism, and Russia can greatly help!”

He added that he had a good discussion with President Putin during their brief meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Vietnam, “Met with President Putin of Russia who was at #APEC meetings. Good discussions on Syria. Hope for his help to solve, along with China the dangerous North Korea crisis. Progress being made.”

He also took a jab at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Barrack Obama, U.S. media houses, those he calls fake news. He tweeted, “Does the Fake News Media remember when Crooked Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was begging Russia to be our friend with the misspelled reset button? Obama tried also, but he had zero chemistry with Putin.”

While under Trump administration, relation s between the United States and Russia improved, any substantial and significant improvement remains far off. Despite Trump’s opposition, the U.S. Congress passed a bill stripping the power of President Trump in unilaterally removing sanctions against Russia.
