Trump did not lift sanctions but increased pressure, and the Russian foreign minister publicly criticized.

【Lavrov: Trump not only did not lift sanctions, but also increased them】

On December 10, 2025, Moscow time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated during his annual speech at the Federation Council "Government Hour":

Everyone has heard President Trump accusing his predecessor Biden of undermining confidence in the dollar and, as he said, pushing the BRICS countries to find alternative payment platforms. This process, as the current US president aptly pointed out, is now accelerating not only within the BRICS framework. Of course, this is not solely the responsibility of Biden, nor is it solely about sanctions. By the way, the current US leader not only does not rush to lift sanctions, but the sanctions are increasing.
