White House directs officials to draft proposal to lift US sanctions on Russia
Sources say work on so-called ‘options paper’ comes as Trump seeks to restore Moscow ties and end Ukraine war
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.

Russian agent doing the Russian agent things.
Word has changed since cold war u know.
Both Putin and Trump are 80s relics and so it matters little how much the wor[l]d has changed, the cold war facet applies to the blindly pro-russian stance of Trump.
Of all the stances to take, this one is insane. Almost every violent conflict has shades of gray, nuance rather than unambiguous good and bad. The Ukraine-Russia conflict is one of those supremely rare straightforward ones where Russia is just straight up the bad guys.
If china is about to kill you economy, who gives a damn about Russia?b
And u clearly have no historical knowledge of that conflict.
Which has nothing to do with anything, but I bet it sounded cool in the goo in your numbskull.
Commenting on every post licking trumps balls
I disagree with Trump on many things, just not Ukraine Russia
“I put at least some minimal effort into looking like I don’t just fantasize gargling their balls. Even though I do.”
Well yeah, it's part of o365 now.
The only thing that hasn't changed since then is Russia
This is a total lie. there is no sense to keep funding stupid usaid propaganda - it keeps population dumb
it keeps population dumb
You mean dumb like all those Trump Musk supporters ? Or dumb because educational programs have been defunded, and fed by social media and classic media controlled by the rich men having power ?
Well Russia was doing all this same stuff back the too so I'm not really wrong. They certainly aren't more peaceful these days.
Yeah, note instead of Russia being a communist authoritarian hellscape, it’s a capitalist authoritarian hellscape.
Very different
Isnt that what us is? Capitalist authoritarian hellscape?
That's why they get along so swimmingly
That's certainly the trajectory Project 2025 wants to really drive home. That's not exactly a defense of Russia.
Yes, but Russia (or at least Putin) hasn't.
He came into power almost a decade after the Cold War ended, so I don’t get what you mean
You're an idiot then. He was literally a KGB agent. This isn't even hard to find information, if you Google him it's on Wikipedia you've done literally zero research.
Oh so being a KGB agent is being the president, got it. Who’s the idiot again?
Trump is so l still a Russian asset. Doing russias bidding
