Second focus of the article is the internal political context and limitations to the new administration of the White House. Finally, there are conclusions for Russia and possible scenarios for the development of bilateral relations after the inauguration of Donald Trump.The future of Russian-American relations is the key uncertainty of 2017, from which to a great extent depends the general direction of Russian foreign policy. The development of relations can go in several directions, which is conditioned to success or failure of Trump domestic economic program, as well as high or low level of conflict behavior of new US administration in its foreign policy. From the perspective of economic and internal policy the criterion of success for Trump will be the speed with which he could launch a legislative mechanism for tax reform and infrastructure investment despite the Democrats opposition.
