I cannot think beyond the sanctions that already have been discussed here--which are, I think, a sustained and a long-term process.

I think in order to make a difference to Putin, again, this requires Presidential engagement immediately after those actions were taken.

Last week the Washington Post reported that President Trump agreed to a new strategy for Syria that may include new Russia sanctions.
