Trump Administration Weighs Russia Business Deals Before Ukraine War Ends – NYT
- The Trump administration is considering business agreements with Russia before the Ukraine conflict ends, according to The New York Times, marking a shift from previous requirements that economic cooperation follow a broader peace settlement.
- Stalled negotiations regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's demands for territory in Donbas prompted this pivot, according to two people familiar with the talks cited by The New York Times.

- Legislation from Congress may allow tariffs of up to 100% on countries buying Russian energy, creating pressure on Moscow even as the administration explores Arctic investment and other cooperation areas.
- Trump said the location for potential talks could be announced "very soon" if plans proceed, though no agreements are official policy yet and remain under discussion following recent Moscow discussions.
