The more actively US President Donald Trump defends the American manufacturer, the higher the likelihood of lifting the anti-Russian sanctions imposed on the European Union. This opinion is expressed by experts interviewed by Nezavisimaya Gazeta.

The publication notes that the finance ministers of the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France expressed concern about the tax reform bill being discussed in the US. In a letter addressed to US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, they compared the US tax reforms to protectionist measures.
It is also indicated that European analysts are already calling Trump’s reform a “bomb” for global trade, a “declaration of war” on Europe and Asia, and fear that the United States will turn into the largest tax haven.
Experts agree that trade disputes between the United States, the European Union and China can play into the hands of the Russian Federation.
“The cooling of foreign trade relations with the United States and the need to find new markets for the products of European companies will stimulate the search for ways to break the sanctions impasse. “The more actively Trump defends the American manufacturer, the higher the likelihood of lifting the sanctions imposed on Russia against Russia,” said Ilya Zharsky, managing partner of the VETA expert group, as quoted by NG.
Dmitry Tikhonov, associate professor at the Higher School of Finance and Management of the Academy under the President (RANEPA), agrees with this, according to his estimates, in the medium term we can expect the European Union to lift anti-Russian sanctions and revive trade turnover with neighboring countries.
