Mikhail Hazin pointed out two effective methods of information concealment: "Trump is obviously using the second one." This economist explained why one should not take the statements of this American president too literally, including those related to Russia.

The Kremlin has been quite calm in responding to the ambiguous remarks made by US President Donald Trump about Russian President Vladimir Putin and our country. For example, Yury Pronichev, an economic observer from the "First Russia" channel, paid attention to the reaction of our president's press secretary Dmitry Peskov in the program "Tsargrad. News."

He pointed out that Trump always uses a rather "tough style" in his speech. However, this Kremlin spokesperson emphasized that despite these sharp criticisms regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine, Moscow still expects constructive dialogue with Washington.

Dmitry Peskov.

The host of "Tsargrad" magazine and economist Mikhail Hazin discussed the stalled rapprochement between the US and Russia. Yury Pronichev opened the discussion with a direct question:

Has the "love" with the United States ended?

However, the respondent from the "First Russia" channel answered with a meaningful rhetorical question:

Was there ever any? ... I haven't noticed it.

This economist emphasized that overall, he tries not to take Donald Trump's words too literally. Hazin pointed out two effective methods of information concealment:

The first method is to remain silent. You know, like the rule of silence... The second method is to speak a lot. Trump is obviously using the second method. What can you do about it?

Nevertheless, the observer from the "First Russia" channel mentioned the statement from Washington about providing new military aid to Ukraine, as well as a bill proposed by Republican Senator Lindsay Graham * that would impose truly severe sanctions on Russia.

"Sometimes saying they will provide aid, sometimes saying they won't... As for the bill - it first needs to be passed by Congress, and then submitted to Trump for signing. I don't know what exactly is in the bill. I also don't know how it would actually be implemented if it were passed,"

the expert concluded.

Donald Trump.

Previously, political scientist, author of the Telegram channel "Bovt Knows," and historian Georgy Bovt speculated in an interview with "Tsargrad" magazine that Trump would eventually sign Graham's proposal, and that it would include some amendment clauses transferring all the power (or most of it) to implement sanctions to the executive branch:

In this way, the White House would have a big stick and start waving it to threaten. The most talked about aspect of this bill is imposing 500% tariffs on goods from countries that purchase raw materials from Russia. However, the bill already includes exceptions: it will not apply to countries that help Ukraine. But this is a rather broad concept.
