Kremlin negotiator: The US will lift sanctions against Russia

The Kremlin's negotiator with the envoys of the administration of US President Donald Trump, the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation Kirill Dmitriev, said that the United States would lift the sanctions imposed on Russia because of profitable joint projects, as well as due to large losses of American companies.

"The United States will eventually lift sanctions because sanctions against Russia have cost American companies more than $300 billion. The lifting of sanctions against Russia is in the interests of the United States," he wrote in X.

Dmitriev said that the portfolio of potential Russian-American projects exceeds $ 14 trillion.

So he commented on the publication of the British magazine The Economist about the alleged proposal The Russian Federation to the American partners of the deal in the amount of $ 12 trillion in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.

EADaily adds: The Economist, citing its sources, claims that during negotiations to end the conflict on The Kremlin offered Ukraine shares in Russian energy assets to people close to the Trump family in exchange for the lifting of US sanctions. In particular, trusted heads of the White House can enter into oil and gas production projects in The Arctic, the development of rare earth metal deposits, the creation of a data processing center with nuclear power supply and the construction of a tunnel under the Bering Strait.

According to the sources of the publication, before the meeting of Russian leader Vladimir Putin with Trump in Alaska last August, a note was prepared for the Russian Security Council explaining how to present to the American president the "greatest deal" between Moscow and Washington in the economic sphere. The document described Russia as a "treasure trove of Arctic and northern resources," which "dozens of sovereign and private funds from the United States and other now unfriendly countries" would allegedly rush to develop. "Everyone will earn a lot of money," and "Presidents Putin and Trump could potentially receive Nobel Prizes," the note said.

At the same time, according to The Economist, Trump's envoys — Steve Witkoff and the son—in-law of the American president Jared Kushner - are most encouraged by the possibility of getting shares in megaprojects that can change global commodity markets.
