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.

Does this need to go through congress?

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.

This feels suspiciously like traitorous activity.

Is it because of the way it is?

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!

Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave.

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.
