White House directs officials to draft proposal to lift US sanctions on Russia

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.

Is this being reported in the US in the mainstream media?

The possibility of a US coup is becoming more real everyday with the Trump administration.

You know what would help end the war in Ukraine? Letting Russia keep all their money and having no repercussions for their actions. That should do the trick.

Thank you, comrade krasnov. Go to hell, asshole.

Kick the US out of Nato and any special status in the UN. Sanction the everliving fuck out of everything US. This will destroy the retirement I was at least partially expecting to get, but fuck it.

When Ukraine's president surprisingly shifted towards Russia, the people engaged in civil disobedience until there was a new president.

What will the US do?

And another piece of evidence that Trump is nothing but a Russian agent in the Oval Office. When will the US media finally start to ask about this?

And red voters will still find ways to deny that he's Putin's little bitch boy

Wow! It’s amazing how most of the voters who voted for him grew up hating “commies” but suddenly Russia is their ally. Astonishing.

In Europe many leaders still claim USA is our most important ally. I wonder if they say it.hoping it will make it true, or if they really still believe it?

America is gross

Does this mean Russia won the cold war

Yall, the USA just lost the fucking Cold War.

Does anyone else remember the 2016 debate with Hillary Clinton where she accused Trump of being a puppet for Putin, and he interrupted "No puppet, no puppet! You're the puppet!"

Or when Alnur Mussayev, the Russian officer who served in the KGB's 6th Directorate in Moscow, said that Trump was recruited as a Russian agent in 1987, under the codename "Krasnov", when he went to Russia for a "real estate project".

Man, what kind of blackmail do they have on trump?

Codename Krasnov sure giving a lot away to Russia for nothing in exchange. Is this the Art of the Deal?

Get ready for weapon sales for Russia!

Reward your friends, punish your enemies. Trump showing that he views Russia as an ally, and Canada as a threat.

though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.

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

IM FEELIN THAT GOOD OL SHERMAN BURN TO DO AWAY WITH SOME TRAITORS TO THE UNION

Watch how many US companies immediately get right back in there, like flies on shit.

Yeah I figured this would happen. And when the cost of gas goes up because of his Tarrifs we'll be buying oil from Russia again..

This feels suspiciously like traitorous activity.

Is it because of the way it is?

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?

Fight Canada, help Russia. How in the hell are Republicans just watching this happen? Cowards and frauds, all of them.

String up the traitors

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.

BRUICS incoming?

Trump got ties with russia...

Is he actually trying to crash the US economy on purpose? Or is he that detached from reality?

I’ll keep saying it till we are all on the same page

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.

Suck those russian dicks!

It’s like that scene at the end of Training Day when the Russian mob comes to kill Denzel Washington but it’s America.

something something treason

Congrats to Putin, he really knows how to play stupid people.

If this is about ending the war, where's Ukraine's voice in these discussions?

🐱🐱🐱

Under Orange Krasnov, Lada, Kamaz, GAZ, etc...will replace the Big Three. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

4D chess right here, put economic stress on our allies, but try to help out our enemies.

If we dont know what we are doing, the enemy certainly cant anticipate our future actions!

though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return

Unclear to who? It seems to me that Trump wants to gain the favor of Putin. Why is this unclear? Is the Guardian too afraid to make this accusation? For someone like Trump that is always looking out for himself, it's unlikely he's doing this out of the kindness of his heart.

I’m so close, pwease wet me cum daddy Putin

• Donny J Trump

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.

Yeah that's definitely the reason they're doing it.

If you are a greedy person, the bigger Russia has a lot more to offer than protecting smaller Ukraine's freedom.
