The message was defiantly optimistic, like a suitor determined to hold a relationship together despite mounting obstacles.
Things will work out fine between the U.S.A. and Russia, President Trump declared on his Twitter account last week. At the right time everyone will come to their senses & there will be lasting peace!
Trumps interest in achieving warm relations with Moscow has been a consistent theme since the earliest days of his campaign, and it stands now as one of the few major foreign policy positions that he has not discarded or revised since taking office.
