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.

Trump already got what he wanted, what even is this statement?

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

Does this need to go through congress?

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours 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.

Only if Congress specifically passed the sanctions. Usually it's a bill that directs the president to sanction people fitting a description. Which effectively makes it a decision for the president.

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

Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 18 points 18 hours ago

It couldn't have been done without the groundwork he laid.

I didn't know people could spin from pure happiness. This can all be traced back to him, I bet the only thing he'd be mad about is that he couldn't be king too.
