The US should mend relations with Russia and not push Moscow to work more closely with Beijing
This was stated by former US President Donald Trump on Fox News television.
“To be on good terms with Russian President Vladimir Putin is great. We need to do business with Russia, we need to get along with Russia instead of pushing Russia towards China […] Russia and China are now gaining strength together”, – Trump said.
As previously reported by News Front, on 15 April, US Chief of Staff Joe Biden signed an executive order on new sanctions against Russia. In particular, he banned US companies from directly buying debt issued by the Central Bank, the National Welfare Fund or the Russian Finance Ministry. Ten Russian diplomats considered by the White House to be “representatives of Russian intelligence services” will also be expelled from Washington.
