They have said. vladmir putin defines russian foreign policy entirely on the basis of russian national interests. and he has gotten away with a lot in the last eight years. expanding russian influence in eastern and central europe and annexing crimea from ukraine through military force. expanding russian influence in the middle east in a dimension we havent seen in 50 years, and at least according to the information that the intelligence community believes, trying to meddle in our luck shuns. if...

Thats the way putin sees it, it will be hard to maintain this chummy relationship that trump and putin have had. because sometimes the united states and russia have co-interests, oftentimes they do not. >> we may see another reset button. >> correct. >> but the same red button. i want to move on to israel. we saw a cryptic tweet, donald trump writing in part, president-elect, rather, that things will be different come january 20th. what will things look like come january 20th and how will he cha...

All this retaliation, the hacking, hes going to expel -- not let us use two properties that the russians own. >> dont you think we should be wary? it seems every administration for god knows how long start off on this sort of a positive note, lets reset. we all remember the reset button with hillary clinton. you know, isnt this how it all begins? >> i think, youre right in that this -- putin would not be acting in such a magnanimous manner if it were not for the fact that donald trump is taking ...

Claim? >> i think the obama administration should try to box donald trump in. donald trump has signalled a dangerous either lack of interest or lack of prudence when it comes to the russia issue. when there are concerns that he has appointed a guy like tillerson on putins order of friendship to be secretary of state and we forget a few months ago, donald trump called for russia to hack hillary clinton during the campaign. this is not someone who has shown prudence on this issue. we should box hi...

When youre dealing with vladim vladimir putin and russia, every president can set the reset button. trump will have that opportunity. what does he do to get it right? >> the thing that trump has going for him, as a student who majored in history, i told donald trump this in september, we were talking privately. when you look at the presidents that did best with foreign policy, they were presidents perceived as being a little bit crazy. teddy roosevelt, ronald reagan. remember when reagan was por...

About that, the things that russia has been doing up until now and the current administration and the timing of this, why they are responding harshly right now. we have a couple things that i wanted to pull up for you. one was the secretary of state at the time pushing the reset button, hillary clinton under or president obama. we had this happen, right? okay, fresh start. lets begin anew. and then we had that open mic incident that happened with president obama in 2012 where he says, you know, ...

President donald trump will have to face when he is sworn in on january 20, either abide by these sanctions put in by president obama or remove them. what should he do? >> i approve of this measure myself. in june of last year or june of this year, the harassment of our diplomats, its been well known and president obama at that point decided not to take action against russia. a lot of the intelligence professionals that i follow and respect, like john schindler, says this is a very solid move. i...

Because i dont think well be talking about president obamas failed russian policy 30 days from now. were not going to be talking about the red line in syria or the withdraw of missile defense from poland and the czech republic. were not going to be talking about the reset button or even this june when this originally came to the president, the harassment of our diplomats, he was originally presented in june with sanctions options and president obama rejected that. so i agree with senate majority...

>> very good. >> there you have it. all clear. right? sunland surfati "outfront" tonight with the president elect. what is the latest? >> reporter: earlier this month trumpers really diving much deep entire that public spat with president obama with his really antagonistic tweets today. but at some point this afternoon, likely after that phone call that we now know he had with president obama it did seem that trump really tried to hit the reset button and do a little course correction and back t...

Friend or enemy, should we get along or not. this coming from president putins letter to president-elect trump. quote, i hope that after you assume the position of president of the united states of america, we will be able by acting in a constructive and pragmatic manner to take real steps to restore the framework of bilateral cooperation in different areas as well as bring our level of collaboration on the international scene to a quantitatively new level. sounds like a long way of saying the f...
