The New York billionaire had wanted to work with the Kremlin in a bid to end the conflict in Syria. While Trump signed the sanctions under protest, analysts said the important takeaway is the fact that, in the end, he signed them.
The worsening of ties could manifest itself in even more sanctions in the future, as well as closer U.S. relations with other nations in the region, Gardiner said.
"I think it will look like increasingly ramped up sanctions against the Russians. I think it will look like sending defensive weaponry to the Ukraine, (which is) highly likely now," Gardiner said.
"I think we're going to see an increased U.S. military presence in Eastern Europe, such as the Baltic States and Poland. We're going to see further deployment of U.S. strategic bombers to Europe, especially to Great Britain, as a warning to Russia. And I think we're going to see a strengthened partnership with countries like Poland," he said.
Indeed, the United States and Poland are seeing increasingly warm relations recently, and Trump chided Russia, a traditional Polish adversary, in a speech from Warsaw earlier this summer.
Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Darrell West echoed sentiments that the bilateral relations are worsening.
"The relationship will remain rocky for the foreseeable future," West told Xinhua.
"There are pressures on each side that will keep the two leaders apart and make it difficult for them to reach any meaningful agreements," West said of Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
