The Trump administration is seeking to reset relations with Russia as part of a comprehensive shift in US foreign policy. While advocates say this reflects changing geopolitical realities, past experience suggests a successful reset may be easier said than done.
Since the end of the Cold War, successive United States governments have sought Russia resets. Perhaps the most famous example came in 2009, when US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton initiated a highly-publicized effort to develop a new Russia strategy. Their administration envisaged renewed cooperation with Russia on a range of issues such as counter-terrorism, non-proliferation, and the illicit trafficking of goods and people.
