Trump: US-Russia relations are at 'dangerous low'
US President Donald Trump says his country's relationship with Russia is at a "dangerous low", amid a feud with Congress over new sanctions imposed against Moscow.
Mr Trump approved the measure on Wednesday, despite calling it "flawed".
Russia said the new sanctions were tantamount to declaring a "full-scale trade war" against Moscow.
The law aims to punish Russia for its alleged meddling in the 2016 US elections and its actions in Ukraine.
Mr Trump had opposed the bill, which also contains measures against Iran and North Korea, as it constrains his ability to ease the sanctions without the consent of Congress.
The final line of his signing statement argued Congress was making a mistake, saying "as president, I can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress".
'You can thank Congress'
In a fresh outburst on Thursday, he made clear who he thought was responsible for the current state of US-Russia ties.
"Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low," he wrote on Twitter.
"You can thank Congress, the same people that can't even give us HCare!" he added, in reference to his inability to repeal his predecessor Barack Obama's flagship heath reforms.
But the Republican senator for Arkansas, Tom Cotton, told MSNBC that "our relationship with Russia is at a very low point but it's [Russian President] Vladimir Putin's fault".
Russia has also reacted angrily. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said the sanctions package "ends hopes for improving our relations with the new US administration".
In a Facebook post, Mr Medvedev said the measures showed Mr Trump's "total weakness" and that he had been humiliated by Congress.
A Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, would not elaborate on Mr Medvedev's comments but said "Russia will defend and protect its interests".
Moscow, which denies interfering in the US presidential election, had already retaliated last week by ordering the US to cut its diplomatic mission in Russia by 755 people.
The legislation limits the amount of money Americans can invest in Russian energy projects, and makes it more difficult for US companies to do business with Russia.
President Trump has repeatedly denied that his campaign staff colluded with Russia to help him win the election.
Allegations by the US intelligence community that Russia interfered in the US election to aid Mr Trump are currently being investigated by Congress and a special investigator.

综述：
US President Donald Trump says the US-Russia relationship is at a "dangerous low", amid his feud with Congress over new sanctions against Russia.
Trump expressed his anger on Twitter and claimed that it was Congress that should be to blame for both the falling bilateral relations and the failure to repeal the Obamacare.
Limiting the amount of US investment in Russia's energy projects and business activities between the two countries is among those sanctions against Russia, a potential meddler in the US general election last year.
As a result, Russia has reacted angrily by accusing the US of declaring a "full-scale trade war" against its country and pledging to protect its interests. In fact, Russia retaliated last week by asking the US to cut its diplomatic mission in Moscow by 755 people.
Although Mr Trump and his campaign staff are being investigated, he never admits alleged collution with Russia.
