  • Summary

  • The sources examine the complex relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, highlighting their shared interests, conflicting actions, and the controversies surrounding their interactions. Trump’s admiration for Putin, his willingness to downplay Russian interference in U.S. elections, and his focus on realpolitik in foreign policy all contributed to a strained relationship with American allies and domestic political figures.

    Despite the controversies, Trump maintained a belief that personal rapport with Putin could lead to beneficial agreements, while critics accused him of being too lenient on Russia. The sources conclude that the Trump-Putin dynamic left a lasting legacy of division in American foreign policy, impacting U.S.-Russia relations well beyond Trump’s presidency.
