Trump Sets Two-Week Clock for Decision on Russia Policy

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday that he intends to decide "one way or the other" on his administration’s approach to Russia within the next two weeks. Asked how long he would give Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump replied, "a couple of weeks," without specifying what measures are under consideration. The president offered no details on what options are being weighed or what circumstances might affect the decision. Trump’s comments mark the clearest public indication to date that the White House is setting a near-term deadline for any shift—whether conciliatory or punitive—in U.S. policy toward Moscow.
