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.

    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.

      As an American? Surely you mean as a proud member of the new American Protectorate of the Russian Federation, comrade?

      APRF, got a ring to it!

      Anyway better start being proud or it’s off to Gulaganamo Bay…

      To help Putin, he is bankrupting USA just like how he bankrupted his casinos.
