An intense debate at the White House between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could offer Russia some relief. President Trump is looking to ease sanctions to rekindle relations with Russia.
An American official disclosed that the White House has instructed the departments of Home and Finance to draft a proposal. These departments are tasked to list potential sanctions to lift. In coming days, the U.S. might discuss these with Russia. Trump's move aims to improve U.S.-Russia relations.
Sources suggest preparations are underway to lift restrictions on Russian billionaires and corporations. Meanwhile, the U.S. has abruptly halted military aid to Ukraine.
Russia holds the title of the largest oil producer in the world. Lifting U.S. sanctions could help curb the soaring oil prices.
It should be noted, last year, the Kremlin criticized the U.S.-Russia relations under President Biden's administration. Biden's government provided military support to Ukraine while imposing stringent sanctions on Russia.
During the continued conflict, Ukrainian President Zelensky recently arrived in the U.S., yet following a heated exchange at the White House, he proceeded to the UK where British Prime Minister Keir Starmer embraced him. In support of Ukraine, an emergency meeting of European leaders took place in Britain.
