This is apropos a Business Recorder op-ed "Trump's Russia reset on hold as White House adds anti-Moscow hawks" carried by the newspaper on Sunday. According to it, President Donald Trump came to the White House promising a radical reset of US-Russia relations after years of rising tensions. But barely one month into office, that plan appears to be on hold, and Trump's White House team has taken on an increasingly Russophobic face.
The successor to Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin, is dominating the headlines of US newspapers for quite some time. He seems to have fared extremely well in comparison to his all predecessors since the October Revolution of 1917 insofar as Soviet-US or Russian-US bilateral relationship is concerned. One must not lose sight of the fact that Donald Trump has long expressed his deep admiration for Putin. Is there any Trump-Putin agreement on the pattern of the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939 in the offing?
