Summary

The White House has directed the State and Treasury Departments to draft a proposal for lifting some U.S. sanctions on Russia as part of Trump’s effort to restore ties and end the Ukraine war.

The proposal could ease restrictions on select Russian entities and oligarchs, though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.

Trump has signaled openness to sanctions relief despite previously threatening harsher measures.

Talks between U.S. and Russian officials have intensified, with economic cooperation, including rare earth minerals, emerging as a key topic.

Codename Krasnov sure giving a lot away to Russia for nothing in exchange. Is this the Art of the Deal?

Reward your friends, punish your enemies. Trump showing that he views Russia as an ally, and Canada as a threat.

Trump already got what he wanted, what even is this statement?

Lol, bending over for Russia when they've done absolutely nothing toward peace. Trump is such a big strong man.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

This feels suspiciously like traitorous activity.

Is it because of the way it is?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fight Canada, help Russia. How in the hell are Republicans just watching this happen? Cowards and frauds, all of them.

Does this need to go through congress?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I doubt that will make much of a difference what with both houses being controlled by the GOP.

Is he actually trying to crash the US economy on purpose? Or is he that detached from reality?

I'm surprised it took this long. He's already selling U.S. citizenship to Russian mobsters, so why not let them run wild and finish what you started - destroying America.
