America's incoming president Donald Trump is praising Vladimir Putin's decision to hold off any tit-for-tat retaliation, in response to America's expulsion of Russian diplomats.

The Kremlin's response is being seen as a effort to create a fresh start in severely strained bilateral ties when Mr Trump is sworn in next month.
