DAVOS (Sputnik) — Europe and the United States have to stay good partners after President-elect Donald Trump takes office in order to avoid a situation damaging for both sides.

"I don't want to judge by some announcements. I want to hear concrete positions. And I think we have to wait until the president delivers his speech at the Congress [State of the Union address]…. I am waiting for the clear positions that he will explain in the Congress, and do not judge by the articles that I can read on one side or another," he added.
