Trump administration weighs lifting sanctions on Russia – Reuters

The possible plans are reportedly part of the president’s efforts to improve ties with Moscow and end the Ukraine conflict

The White House has directed the State and Treasury departments to draft proposals for easing certain sanctions on Russia, Reuters reported on Monday, citing sources familiar with the matter. The tentative plans would align with US President Donald Trump’s efforts to improve diplomatic and economic relations with Moscow and to facilitate an end to the conflict in Ukraine.

The proposed sanctions relief could include specific Russian entities and individuals, including some business leaders, according to the outlet. The list will be discussed with Russian representatives in the coming days as part of the administration’s broad talks with Moscow on repairing ties, the sources told Reuters.

According to a new poll by DailyMail and J.L. Partners, President Trump’s approval rating has climbed by one percentage point over the past two weeks, reaching a historic high of 54 percent amid a deeply divided national sentiment. Younger voters notably drive the uptick in approval; 56 percent of those aged 18 to 29 now express approval, up from 51 percent just two weeks prior.

When asked about their changing perceptions of the president, more than one-third of Americans (36 percent) reported a more positive view, while only 16 percent indicated a more negative stance. President Trump’s return to the White House has been anything but quiet.
