Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: On Russia and the US

When US President Donald Trump was elected in 2016, Russia expected to build a new relationship with the US.

It started off well, but recent accusations of Russian meddling in the US election has caused a break. Since then, the US has imposed new sanctions on Moscow, which Putin has described as a "full-scale trade war".

Now the US has expelled 60 Russian diplomats in response to the poisoning of a former spy in the UK.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, explains why Moscow may feel disappointed with the Trump presidency.
