President-elect Donald Trump says he will keep the latest sanctions on Russia in place "for a period of time" but is open to lifting them if Moscow cooperates on issues of mutual interest. Trump also says he is not committed to a longstanding agreement with China over Taiwan.


"If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody's doing some really great things?" Trump said in the Journal interview. He added, however, he would keep the latest sanctions in place "at least for a period of time."

The president-elect also told the Journal he is willing to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin after he takes office next week. "I understand that they would like to meet, and that's absolutely fine with me," Trump added.

Regarding China, Trump was specifically asked whether he supports the U.S. "One China" policy on Taiwan, which declares the province as part of China. Trump's response: "Everything is under negotiation, including One China."

1. "...they would like to meet,..." Of course he would.

What a surprise. Having worked in corporations with international divisions, it's a long standing tradition that the CEO goes out to visit a new country manager or region VP early in their assignment. It shows that the CEO has confidence in the newly anointed. Makes perfect sense for Putin to drop in on Trump for a personal look see and show the world that he's got confidence in his recent personnel decision.

I wonder if he'll stay in the Lincoln Bedroom.

sheesh.

2. Everything he says is meaningless

He has contradicted everything he's ever said in his life. He's a sociopath. He'll repeal sanctions and claim he never said this and it's fake news. He'll piss all over China and then say he didn't do it. We better hope the Republcons are not sure of their bunker spots or the world is going up in a mushroom cloud.
