We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

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

This feels suspiciously like traitorous activity.

Is it because of the way it is?

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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

The house's majority is slim enough that 2 defectors are all that's needed.

Zero faith in these bootlickers.

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

Krasnov Trump scammed his investors, loans and bankrupted his casinos. He is doing the same to US to enrich himself.

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.

Art of the deal: give Putin everything, let him finish in your mouth and ass. Get nothing in return!
