- In an interview with the WSJ, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he would keep intact sanctions against Russia "at least for a period of time," however, "if you get along and Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions?"
- Trump also said he wouldn't commit to the "One China" policy until he sees progress from Beijing in its currency and trade practices, and won't label China a currency manipulator on his first day in office, but will rather "talk to them first."
