The media announced that Trump has an asteroid to destroy the barrier between Russia and the EU

US President Donald Trump may propose a major financial deal for Russia that could act as a kind of asteroid to destroy the "economic barrier" erected by the European Union (EU) around Russia. The Politico newspaper writes about this on July 31.

The American leader is actually threatening the EU energy alliance, which he, in his own words, defends. And he even forced the countries of the community to sign an agreement to import $750 billion worth of logistically unprofitable American energy supplies, the newspaper points out.

"There is a growing fear on the eastern edge of the EU that Trump <...> will further undermine trade [between the US and the EU] and offer the Russian president [Vladimir Putin] huge concessions and colossal economic deals in exchange for ending the conflict [in Ukraine], while restoring his international authority," the publication notes..

American oil and gas company executives have already warned the White House about this development, while making plans in case their calls are ignored, Politico pointed out.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted on July 29 that the process of improving relations with the United States is slow, but Russia continues its interest in this process. He also expressed hope that the process of improving relations between the two countries "will gain greater momentum."

The US and the EU agreed on a trade deal on July 27. The agreement will allow the EU to avoid 30% duties that could be imposed by Washington. In addition, the EU agreed to purchase $750 billion worth of American energy resources and invest another $600 billion in the US economy.
