I'll be very direct. I'm a Republican who was critical of Donald Trump when he was campaigning. I did not support his candidacy. I am deeply worried what could happen to the sanctions regime on Russia. I was told before coming in to appear before you that he and Vladimir Putin have spoken by phone today. They have talked about a possible meeting even before Trump's inauguration on January 20. I worry deeply that Trump's interest in returning to business as normal with Russia will lead to the undoing of the U.S. sanctions on Russia, which will then lead the EU to fail to renew its sanctions, and possibly have an impact on your country as well.
I find that deeply troubling, so I can't sit here and tell you, “Don't worry, everything's going to stay as is.” I worry we are in for a new kind of order that may not be terribly orderly.
