️🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 NYT: The Trump administration is considering signing business deals with Russia before the war in Ukraine ends, even as Congress passed a sanctions bill this week aimed at pressuring President Vladimir Putin, while envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner continue to seek territorial incentives for territorial discussions.

The bill, which allows for tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian oil and gas and sanctions on Russian officials and institutions, is expected to be signed by Trump, while the shift to pre-war economic deals marks a departure from his earlier promise to freeze business ties until a settlement is reached, with Ukrainian officials saying the trilateral talks in October could resume.
