Richard Haass: We Could Put Enormous Pressure on Putin and We’ll Learn a Lot More About China

EXCERPT:

HAASS: “You have in Europe obviously all sorts of our Europeans Opposition to what Russia is doing and if the United States would turn up the heat on Russia economically if we’d stop pushing a one-sided peace deal if we’d open up the spigot to help Ukraine with arms I actually think we could put enormous pressure on Putin and we’ll learn a lot more about China and U.S. policy in a couple of months when President Trump goes there. So this is kind of grand structure, instead of going from a world that the United States leads to a world where these other countries Russia and China has a large role, it’s one thing to talk about it on paper, I think something quite different in — in practice.”
