Spat between the eagle and the bear

President Donald Trump says relations with Russia may be at an all-time low as he moves away from his promise to improve ties with Moscow.

Trump spoke at a news conference yesterday that right now they’re not getting along with Russia at all.  Dangerous divisions have been growing between the White House and the Kremlin over Syria and other issues.

Syria update

Russia and western countries clashed at the United Nations yesterday when Vladimir Putin blocked a security council resolution condemning Syria for the chemical attack.

10 countries voted in favour, Russia with its veto and Bolivia voted against, China and 2 other abstained. Russia’s ambassador says the resolution pre-judged that the Syrian government was responsible.
