There will definitely be changes: what to expect from Trump’s sanctions policy towards Russia Angela Figin

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has spoken about easing or lifting sanctions against Russia to end the war in Ukraine.

On air < strong>24 Channel political scientist Taras Zagorodniy said how to interpret this statement and whether it is possible to conclude from it what Trump’s policy towards Russia will be if he returns to the White House.< /p>

What Trump's policy could be

There are a lot of myths around Trump. It is unknown what he will demand in exchange for the lifting or easing of sanctions.

According to the political scientist, the US presidential candidate can lift all restrictions on the oil and gas sector of the United States of America, which have imposed Joe Biden, which is why the United States actually supports the purchase of oil and gas from Russia and Iran.

Trump may also lift restrictions on the construction of LNG terminals, on gas and oil production, and will put into operation the Keystone oil pipeline, which Biden blocked when he came to power.

As a result of this, there will be a lot of oil supply on the world market. Because of this, Russians will have problems selling it. Trump will tear up the Chinese economy,” Zagorodniy noted.

According to him, he began to do this during his tenure, when huge duties were introduced, in particular on Chinese goods, some of which, by the way, were canceled by Biden. Therefore, the financial base of Russia and China will decrease.

I think that nothing will change significantly in relations between the United States and Ukraine, in particular military assistance. However, the economic base of Russia and China, which allows them to wage war, will be undermined, the political scientist said.

Why are Russians nervous about -for the potential return of Trump

After one of the last interviews that Trump gave, Russians began to talk about problems in relations with the former US president. In particular, Trump gave the order to strike the Wagnerites in Syria, while at the same time Barack Obama and Biden actually forgave the Russians for using chemical weapons.

In addition, he gave the order to destroy General Qasem Soleimani in Iran. For example, the current Biden administration is ignoring the fact where the Houthis got their weapons and much more.

“I think the Russians are very worried about Trump because there might be such options that they will not like very much,” Zagorodniy added.
