Russia

[New U.S. sanctions on 38 Russian oligarchs are] the most significant we have seen yet [under the Trump administration, targeting] the elites that surround Putin... If we are looking for sanctions that will have the ability to affect Putin's calculus, it's these type of actions we would want to see.

[A potential meeting between Trump and Putin at the White House] would confer a certain normalization of relations and we’re certainly not in a normal space...Nothing about this is normal.
