Trump's adviser called the deadlines for improving Russian-American relations

Improving Russian-American relations may occur during the year, said adviser to the elected President of the United States Donald Trump for relations with business Anthony Scaramucci. As TASS reports , he made such a forecast on the fields of the World Economic Forum in the Swiss Davos.

"I am generally a very optimistic person, like the elected president. He has a vision of mutual interests, and, perhaps, a year later, relations with the Russian people and the Russian government will be better than today. I do not say that this will happen, who knows what circumstances or facts will affect our relations, but we want this in any case," Skaramucci said.

At the same time, he noted that he considers the sanctions “not the best thing”, but he emphasized that "the actions undertaken by the Russian government were perceived with a certain disapproval in the international community." “Most likely we will have the opportunity to sit back at the negotiating table and see if we can come to the best agreement,” he added.

Scaramucci also believes that the sanctions introduced by the West had the opposite effect and rallied Russians around Vladimir Putin.

"You know Russian people better than me. The sanctions in some way had the opposite effect because of the nature of Russian people. I think that the Russians would be ready to eat to survive. In my understanding, sanctions most likely rally your nation around the president. But in the long run, can the sanctions be painful, effective for other nations? The answer, of course, would not have been used," the adviser said, "the adviser said," the adviser said Trump.

On the eve of the US president, in an interview with The Times, did not rule out the abolition of some sanctions against Russia, imposing this decision with the conclusion of a nuclear transaction with Russia. "You have sanctions against Russia - let's see if we can reach a couple of good deals with Russia," Trump said. At the same time, he explained that for him the priority in building relations with Moscow will be the issue of containing nuclear potential.

“On the one hand, I believe that nuclear weapons should be much less and it needs to be significantly reduced,” he said. “But there are sanctions from which Russia is currently suffering.” “But I think you can do something so that many have benefited,” the elected president of the United States added, without specifying exactly how he intends to link these two questions.

The Kremlin called for this to "gain patience" and wait for Trump's official entry as an official. “Let's find patience, wait for the moment of Mr. Trump’s entry into the post of current president, and then we will give assessments to one or another initiatives,” said Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
