Exclusive-Trump administration disbands group focused on pressuring Russia, sources say

[bannork]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration shelved in recent weeks an inter-agency working group it had set up to formulate strategies for pressuring Russia into speeding up peace talks with Ukraine, according to three U.S. officials.

 

The effort, which was established earlier in the spring, lost steam in May as it became increasingly clear to participants that U.S. President Donald Trump was not interested in adopting a more confrontational stance toward Moscow, said the officials.

 

The death of the working group, the existence of which has not been previously reported, is likely to deepen European allies' concerns over Trump's at-times conciliatory tone toward Russia and his reluctance to express full-throated support for Ukraine ahead of a pivotal summit of NATO allies later this month.

Sources should have to reveal themselves in matters such as this.

Why, so that bully boy can attack them?

The White House did not respond to a request for comment, nor did the Treasury Department, the State Department or the Pentagon.

The Ukrainian and Russian embassies in Washington also did not respond to requests for comment.

 

But an anonymous dude said a thing that fits my preferred narrative.

 

The Kazakhstani embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.
