Trump seeks 'more constructive relationship with Russia' ahead of second foreign trip

One of President Trump’s goals on his upcoming foreign trip to Europe is to foster a “more constructive relationship” with Russia, according to White House advisers.

“As the president has made clear, he’d like the United States and the entire West to develop a more constructive relationship with Russia,” national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Thursday. “But he’s also made clear we’ll do what is necessary to confront Russia’s destabilizing behavior.”
