Reuters reported on the 3rd, local time, that the Donald Trump administration in the United States, which is facing controversy over its close relationship with Russia, is pursuing the easing of sanctions against Russia.
According to Reuters, citing U.S. officials and sources, the State Department and the Treasury Department, the responsible agencies, are preparing a list at the request of the White House to draft a plan for potentially easing sanctions against Russia.
This is intended for discussion at the ceasefire negotiation table between the U.S. and Russia, and it is known that the list includes sanctions targeting some emerging Russian oligarchs.
Although it is unclear which sanctions the Trump administration aims to ease first, Reuters analyzed that this move demonstrates the administration’s willingness to ease sanctions if necessary to reach an armistice agreement with Russia.
