U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has no plans to cancel the anti-Russian sanctions immediately, but does not exclude that it will happen in the future, WSJ reported.

In an hourlong interview, Mr. Trump said that, “at least for a period of time,” he would keep intact sanctions against Russia imposed by the Obama administration in late December in response to Moscow’s alleged cyberattacks.

Trump suggested he might do away with the sanctions  if Moscow proves helpful in battling terrorists and reaching other goals important to Washington, the Journal reported.

He added that he was ready to have a sit down with the Russian president after the inauguration on January 20.

President Barack Obama imposed the sanctions in retaliation for alleged Russian cyber interference in the U.S. election.

The immediate consequences were 35 Russian diplomats expelled from the country and two Russian compounds closed.
