🇺🇸 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 Kremlin Floats Economic Reset with U.S., Eyes Dollar Return
Kremlin insiders have drafted proposals for a broad U.S.-Russia economic partnership contingent on a Ukraine peace agreement. The memo suggests Russia's return to dollar-based transactions and cooperation in energy, aviation, and critical minerals.
The proposals include preferential access for U.S. companies to the Russian market and joint efforts to promote fossil fuels. Western officials are skeptical, questioning Putin's commitment given Russia's ties with China.
It is unconfirmed whether these proposals have been formally presented to Washington. The document also proposes compensation for American companies for past losses.
A return to dollar settlements is reportedly part of a possible deal with the Trump administration. This reversal would mark a departure from Russia's de-dollarization efforts, potentially weakening Moscow's ties with Beijing.
