Summary

The White House has directed the State and Treasury Departments to draft a proposal for lifting some U.S. sanctions on Russia as part of Trump’s effort to restore ties and end the Ukraine war.

The proposal could ease restrictions on select Russian entities and oligarchs, though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.

Trump has signaled openness to sanctions relief despite previously threatening harsher measures.

Talks between U.S. and Russian officials have intensified, with economic cooperation, including rare earth minerals, emerging as a key topic.

    But he missed because the bullet he used was too small and too light and didn’t have a proper ballistic trajectory

      5.56 effective range out of a 16" barrel is 500 yards. Trump was a mere 400 feet from Crooks.

      “Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL and the former head instructor of the SEAL Sniper course, said a well-trained shooter could shoot very accurately with an AR-15 at the distance at which Crooks shot Trump, especially with a magnified optic such as an ACOG sight.”

      Dude missed. The weapon and projectile are more than capable of delivering an accurate and lethal hit at that distance.

      TL: DR, Skill issue.
