"They are joyous in Moscow, now seeing the returns on that investment (in Trump)"
Ambassador Michael McFaul was interviewed Wednesday by MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.
“In the last 24 hours, Erdoğan in Turkey has said he will meet in a number of days with Vladimir Putin, but has indicated he does not want to meet with Mike Pence and the Secretary of State, who are on their way this afternoon, headed to Ankara for meetings, Mitchell said. “What does it tell you about Russia’s hold on the region?”
McFaul said, “Vladimir Putin is the big winner here. They are joyous in Moscow. You should watch the television these days.”
“After an impasse, they were disappointed with what President Trump did for them after he won the election. But now they are seeing the returns on that investment, where they tried to help President Trump win in 2016,” he explained.
