Trump put impossible conditions on NATO for sanctions against Russia: details.

According to inkorr.com: Diplomats from the European Union accused U.S. President Donald Trump of trying to avoid imposing sanctions on Russia by putting difficult conditions on Europe. This information was published by The Wall Street Journal.

Recently, Trump stated that he would impose sanctions on Russia only if all NATO members first impose sanctions and if they stop buying Russian energy resources.

In the opinion of some diplomats, Trump is deliberately making such demands, knowing that the European Union is unable to meet them. This allows him to avoid the imposition of new sanctions on Russia. In particular, the EU is delaying the presentation of a sanctions package against Russia, hoping for stricter measures to be implemented.

Europe considers using frozen Russian assets

Trump also supports Europe’s initiatives to use frozen Russian assets, urging the consideration of this possibility. European governments are already contemplating this idea but have concerns about the implications for their reputation.

Frozen Russian assets, mostly government securities, are held in the Belgian depository Euroclear. European governments hope to gain access to some of these funds next year and may provide them to Ukraine in the form of a loan, promising compensation in case Russia refuses to pay military reparations after the conflict ends.

Against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine, these political maneuvers are becoming increasingly relevant. The use of frozen assets could become an important financial support for Ukraine, while Trump's statements reflect the complexity of international politics and the interaction between the U.S. and Europe in these challenging times.
