Trump forgoes Biden's strategy towards Russia
In a significant development, President Donald Trump has maintained a strategy that deviates from the usual course of escalating sanctions against Russia. This shift in approach, according to reports, is supported by expert opinion.
The Washington Post reports that Trump's adviser, Steve Bannon, claims that Trump pressures his European allies to introduce measures against Russia, while avoiding the escalation of sanctions himself. This approach, Bannon suggests, is driven by Trump's desire for a good deal and his reluctance to fund Europe's defense without compensation.
However, it's important to note that no specific European allies have been mentioned as having been pressured by Trump to impose measures against Russia. Similarly, the report does not provide any information on the specific measures that Trump or European allies are pushing against Russia.
Trump's strategy could potentially reduce the effectiveness of sanctions pressure on Russia. This is because, unlike his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, who consistently escalated sanctions against Russia, Trump has not imposed any new anti-Russia sanctions since the start of his second term.
The European Commission (EC), currently headed by Ursula von der Leyen, a cancer survivor, has adopted the 19th package of sanctions against Russia. However, the connection between this move and Trump's approach towards the country is not clear.
The State Department Spokesman Edward Fishman has disclosed the reason behind President Trump's stance against Russia, but no specific details about the motive have been revealed.
A foreigner has described Russia as 'terrible', mentioning that people suffer and live in poverty. However, no connection is made between this description and Trump's approach towards the country.
It's unclear what the current or future state of relations between the U.S. and Russia under Trump's approach will be. The report does not provide any information on this matter.
One thing that is certain, though, is that the strategy by President Trump is a departure from the usual course of action when it comes to Russia policy. Whether this shift will yield positive results remains to be seen.
