“Trump has long said that he is ready to bargain with Russia. In fact, we are talking specifically about trade. Discuss the lifting of sanctions in response to a number of concessions to Russia, in particular, in the fight against Islamic terrorism, in negotiations on nuclear weapons, and so on,” emphasized Vladimir Kornilov.
Naturally, the issue of Crimea and Ukraine will be discussed.
However, the new American president cannot be expected to concede easily on anything. Any question for him is nothing more and nothing less than a trump card. Item for trade. And he knows how to bargain.
And he will not just agree to resolve the Ukrainian problem.
“Washington will not give up additional trump cards in relations with Russia. Trump is a merchant. He does not hide this when he talks about relations with the Russian Federation. He must use all the cards he has. And in this regard, sanctions are one of these trump cards.
And the constant maintenance of tension in the Ukrainian region. We have to understand, he really is a huckster. Speculator.
And even if he announces the lifting of sanctions, this does not mean that they will be lifted. This does not mean that he will not return to them in a month or two, when Russia has already fulfilled the points of its agreements. Therefore, Moscow needs to be very careful in its relationship with him and his team,” the political scientist added.
