Behind the deal between the United States and Russia, the good deals of Donald Trump and his close

The article discusses how negotiations involving contracts benefiting U.S. President Donald Trump and his close associates are central to American diplomacy. It highlights a recent example where a petroleum agreement benefited Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The piece suggests that such deals may influence diplomatic relations and raises questions about potential conflicts of interest.

A U.S.-Russia deal has drawn attention to business interests linked to President Donald Trump and his associates, according to reports. The agreement reportedly includes oil contracts benefiting Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow last September. The U.S. diplomatic strategy appears increasingly intertwined with personal financial interests, particularly those of Trump and his inner circle. These interests have moved beyond traditional geopolitical considerations, influencing key decisions in regions such as Russia, the Middle East, Venezuela, and Cuba. Kushner and Witkoff, both connected to Trump, manage these affairs independently of Congress and the State Department, operating with limited transparency. International negotiations often involve lucrative deals that benefit individuals or their affiliated financial groups. These transactions are becoming central to diplomatic efforts rather than peripheral benefits. Recent developments suggest a shift in U.S. policy toward Russia amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In Norway, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with American envoy Steve Witkoff in Oslo. Another U.S. envoy, Jared Kushner, participated remotely in the talks, according to the Norwegian government. The meeting occurred against a backdrop of heightened tensions between Ukraine and the United States.
