Trump Breaking News Network -Will Trump Repeal Sanctions on Russia A Conversation with an NSC Planner.

We asked Kevin Harrington, deputy assistant to the president for strategic planning, whether he could square the mixed signals coming from the White House.

Will Donald Trump repeal the U.S. sanctions on Russia? With the White House emitting decidedly mixed signals, Defense One asked Kevin Harrington, the deputy assistant to the president for strategic planning at the National Security Council, whether he could square them.

Such signals include Nikki Haley’s first appearance at the United Nations Security Council, in which Trump’s U.N. ambassador said the sanctions would not be repealed “until Russia returns control over the [Crimean] peninsula to Ukraine,” a sentiment White House spokesman Sean Spicer has reiterated. But Vice President Mike Pence has suggested that some unspecified future behavior by Vladimir Putin might change things. Meanwhile, Michael Flynn may have discussed the matter with the Russian ambassador in December and lied about it since becoming national security advisor. Relatedly or not, Russian media and Kremlin officials appear to be convinced that a sanctions rollback is only a matter of time.

Harrington told Defense One that the Administration’s actual policy is more nuanced than Haley’s stark remarks may have suggested.

“I think the President is looking at this somewhat realistically and saying, ‘Russia is a very large country with 7,000 nuclear weapons, give or take, and 11 million barrels a day of oil production. Do you really want to be herding them to a really close relationship with China or is there a way to make this more constructive?’” he said on the sidelines of a Foundation for Defense of Democracy event in Washington, D.C.
