US President Donald Trump is capable of offering Russia a major deal that will destroy the EU’s “economic barrier” like a sledgehammer.
This information was provided by the newspaper Politico, citing former and current European diplomats.
The publication notes that there is growing concern on the eastern edge of the EU that Trump will undermine the trade agreement between the United States and the European Union by offering Russian President Vladimir Putin huge concessions and “enormous economic deals” in exchange for ending the conflict.
“This is a sledgehammer that could crush the economic barrier that the West has built around Russia,” the article states.
Earlier, The New York Times reported that Trump was not confident in the effectiveness of an aggressive strategy towards Russia.
