The current US president himself issued a statement that "Probably no one was tougher towards Russia than Donald Trump».

The proof of the words of the head of the United States was his recent actions. Last month, President Trump authorized the dispatch of 60 Russian diplomats from the state The measures were taken after the attack on the Skripal family in the UK. The investigators in this case adhere to the version that the nerve agent with which the former GRU colonel and his daughter were poisoned were used by the Russian special services.

“We sent 60,” Trump said. "Nobody has acted harder towards Russia."

Based on information published by The Washington Post, Trump was dissatisfied when he learned that his administration sent more Russians home than the allies. France and Germany, which supported the imposition of sanctions on Russian diplomats, sent home only four experts - far less than their overseas allies.

"The president, who was almost completely confident that other countries would follow his example in his actions, was furious when he learned that the media portrayed his administration as taking the toughest stance towards Russia."

And this is by no means the only example of a tough policy towards the Russian Federation pursued by the US government.

The US President's team, which deals with foreign policy and national security, considers the Russian Federation to be an unreliable and dangerous player. Candidate for the post of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that "The cause of the historic conflict between the United States and the USSR, and now Russia, is the illegal actions of the Russian side."

More sharply sound the statements of the US president himself, who talks more about the future of relations between the two states, and apparently does not find any options for reconciliation.

For example, in one of the Twitter messages, Trump aggressively threatened Russia: "Wait for our smart missiles". Shortly after the publication, at the initiative of the US President, in alignment with France and Britain, an air strike was conducted across the territory of Syria.

The Syrian air defense managed to repel most of the cruise missiles sent by the USS and their allies. Russian military bases are on the territory of Syria. The presence of our military in the Middle East is aimed at protecting the Assad regime and its fight against IGIL.

Many media outlets regard the recent attack on sovereign Syria as President Trump's desire to keep his word. According to political and military experts, the impulsiveness of the head of the American state not only undermines normal relations between the United States and Russia, but can also lead to a global military conflict.
