“My hope is that the president-elect [Donald Trump] coming in takes a similarly constructive approach, finding areas where we can cooperate with Russia, where our values and interests align.

“There is nothing wrong when the Trump administration says it wants to find areas of common ground to work with Russia - perfectly reasonable.
