Sources say work on so-called ‘options paper’ comes as Trump seeks to restore Moscow ties and end Ukraine war

Summary

The White House has directed the State and Treasury Departments to draft a proposal for lifting some U.S. sanctions on Russia as part of Trump’s effort to restore ties and end the Ukraine war.

The proposal could ease restrictions on select Russian entities and oligarchs, though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.

Trump has signaled openness to sanctions relief despite previously threatening harsher measures.

Talks between U.S. and Russian officials have intensified, with economic cooperation, including rare earth minerals, emerging as a key topic.
