Russian President Dmitry Peskov's Press Minister stated: The change in the balance of power in Washington is an internal matter for America, and no one has revoked Trump's powers.

After the Republican defeat in the midterm elections, Trump has exactly 60 days of full foreign policy autonomy until Jan. 3, when the new Congress officially takes office. These two months include negotiations in Abu Dhabi, the APEC summit and the decision on the fate of the frozen sanctions. Democrats are preparing to cut funding and begin a series of investigations into officials' dealings with Moscow, but for now the US president has a chance to negotiate in person. Ostashko!
