Gillian Turner: ‘I Think It’s Good’ Trump’s Changing His Position on Russia

‘He is really learning on the job when it comes to Russia’

EXCERPT:

TURNER: "Well, the latest moves by President Trump on Russia, I think really show that the President has been — his position is changing. I hesitate to say he is backtracking or entirely reversing his posture towards Russia but it is changing and we're watching it change in real time every single day. I think this is a really good thing. It’s no secret that the President has no foreign policy experience prior to serving in the White House. So he is really learning on the job when it comes to Russia. His only experience with the Putin regime up until a couple of months ago was working with them or maybe sometimes speaking with them as potential business partners. Working with the Putin regime as a fellow foreign head of state is a much different landscape to navigate and he's seen how treacherous it can be. I think it's good that he is changing his position to accommodate reality."
