Exactly. Just like the Poles who have a high opinion of America but a real low opinion of the Liar in Chief according to Pew Research.No, Trump won't lift sanctions on Russia. He wants Europe to buy American liquid gas and Russia so far is the largest gas supplier to Europe in the world and thus Russia is a strong competitor. USA believes that sanctions weaken Russia, but Putin finds a lot of countries in the world to deal with.
Cool story but Trump and his motivations are not to be conflated with USA
What Election Interference?obama sanctioned them for election interference....
----------------------------------------- the way i understand things is that TRUMP can do as he likes RIGHT NOW . My hope is that Trump does what is best for the USA and that may include lifting mrobamas sanctions on Russia OldLady .He shouldn't, if he's got political sense.
The Senate voted nearly unanimously on Wednesday to allow Congress to strip the president of the power to unilaterally lift existing sanctions against Russia, a matter that had many of President Trump’s allies siding with his harshest critics.
The measure, which was approved 97 to 2 — Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah, both Republicans, were the only votes against it — bolsters existing sanctions and would allow Congress to thwart any presidential effort to curtail sanctions without congressional approval.
“This administration has been too eager, far too eager in my mind, to put sanctions relief on the table,” Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, said Wednesday. “We cannot let Russia’s meddling in our elections go unpunished, lest they ever consider something similar again.”
Senate Backs Measure Limiting President’s Power to Lift Sanctions
As we all remember from Schoolhouse Rock, it also needs to pass the House, and Paul Ryan is doing his best to hem and haw and not act on it, saying it should have properly begun in the House. He could fix it simply enough. But he is stalling; perhaps with this meeting in mind?
If the President lifts any of the Russian sanctions, he's got the ENTIRE Senate pissed off. He has a lot of reasons not to do that right now.
I don't think he'll lift sanctions.
