Trump's inauguration was celebrated jubilantly in Moscow, where Putin supporter Konstantin Rykov hosted an all-night party. Champagne flowed as an interpreter narrated the new U.S. president's speech. In Washington, the Russian Embassy tweeted, "Happy #InaugurationDay2017!" with a photo of people gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
The optimism was part of a larger embrace by Russia of Trump's "America First" outlook, which emphasizes U.S. business interests and national security over promoting freedom and democracy, said Ilya Zaslavskiy, a researcher who has worked with the Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative.
Amid a busy schedule in Washington, Titov — who was appointed by Putin to serve as a business ombudsman — told a Russian television station that new investment was likely to flow to Russia once the Obama era U.S. sanctions were lifted.
Businesses "are waiting for this signal, and they believe it will soon come," he said.
2 years later, the sanctions are still in place😂😂😂😄 and the thrill of Trump's election has faded amid an intensifying federal investigation of possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign. Thanks Robert Mueller. America will forever be in your debt. Make Traitors Fear Again!!!!!😄
