The U.S. proposes to build a new trust framework with Europe and Russia to promote the easing of relations.

【The U.S. hopes to establish a trust framework between Europe and Russia】

On January 24, 2026, Washington time, a senior U.S. official (who requested anonymity) answered questions from The Politico as follows:

Evidently, there is not much trust currently between Europe and Russia, but we can establish a new paradigm framework, which will be based on trust. This new paradigm will demonstrate the true easing of tensions between the two sides. Both sides have begun to realize what they can gain from the world, such as Ukraine's prosperity plan, including the possibility for Russia to reach commercial agreements with the United States.
