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.

    And another piece of evidence that Trump is nothing but a Russian agent in the Oval Office. When will the US media finally start to ask about this?

    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.

      …and inviting Russians into the oval to watch and report to president Putin as he bullies Zelenskyy. Good job, Murca, and good job, VP Krasnov. Vance did a good job too.

    This is so wrong. I hate what we’ve become. As an American, I’ve never been proud of what this country has done but I’ve never been THIS ashamed. I feel like a joke.

      There’s no more room for nuance. We (that is, our government) are the baddies. Straight up.

        So let’s stop beating around the bush at what has to be done, violent revolution is the only path to freedom.

          I’m approximately 2,700 miles from DC, so I’ll need several days’ notice for when the violent insurrection will be.
