6. Long Response

American ties with Russia are at an "all time low" as said by Trump. Due to recent investigations with Russian connections and the conflicts in Syria, our current ties are not looking very good. After meeting with Putin, our Secretary of State Rex Tillerson agrees with Trump on this. There has been a shift because of "divisions on Syria and other issues." The two countries are not getting along at all. Russia is trying to cut U.S. ties with Moscow. This will impact our country because we have many Russian immigrants in America and vice versa. Russia is also a very popular travel destination for americans. Overall, disagreements  between the U.S. and Russia have made our relationship with them worse than ever before.
