US President Donald Trump’s administration is considering reaching business agreements with Russia even before the conflict in Ukraine ends as part of a new approach to negotiations with Moscow, TASS reported citing The New York Times.
A US official told the newspaper that such agreements could show the seriousness of Washington’s intention to reset relations with Russia. The newspaper noted that this approach differs from Trump’s previous position.
Two sources close to the negotiations told the newspaper that Washington now allows for the possibility of reaching deals with Russia before the conflict ends. According to the newspaper, US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the US president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner are looking for new ways to interest Russia in ending the hostilities. The newspaper noted that there is currently no information on what kind of deals could be under consideration.
