palm beach — US Presidente­lect Donald Trump on Thursday responded to a slew of US election-related sanctions against Russia with a call for the country to “move on” and a conciliato­ry pledge to meet US spy chiefs he has harshly criticised.

“It’s time for our country to move on to bigger and better things,” Trump said, echoing previous prickly reactions to allegation­s his November win over Hillary Clinton was somehow tainted by Russian interferen­ce.

“Neverthele­ss, in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the intelligen­ce community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation,” he added.

President Barack Obama on Thursday ordered a series of diplomatic and economic sanctions against Russia over the hacking which US officials say was aimed at disrupting the November election. —
