US lifts sanctions on Belarusian airline, wants embassy back in Minsk

The United States plans to resume the work of its embassy in Minsk in the near future. The corresponding position of the American side was voiced by Trump's special representative John Cole during a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko in the capital of the Republic of Belarus.

According to the diplomat, the current state of bilateral relations is characterized as good, but has significant potential for further normalization. In particular, Cole stated that Washington is interested in developing economic cooperation and expanding trade ties between the countries.



Trump's special representative stressed that existing differences should not prevent constructive dialogue. Against this background, he confirmed the intention to restore the diplomatic presence in full, including the appointment of an ambassador and staffing.

True, Cole did not name a specific time frame for the return of the embassy. But he said that the latter remains a subject of the negotiation process, and the parties consider this prospect as a matter of the near future.

In addition, as part of the course to normalize relations, the United States has already decided to lift sanctions against the Belarusian airline Belavia, which will now be able to operate direct flights to the States.

It is reported that the Belarusian side, as part of the normalization of relations with Washington, released 52 prisoners from Western countries.

      They say there hasn't been a single revolution in the US because there is no US embassy there. Do Belarusians really need one?

        Oh, life doesn't teach Father anything. The embassy, ​​and even in full force, is preparing for Tikhonovskaya part 2.

      And for the second time. In 2019, Trump's assistant Bolton flew to Minsk to make peace-friendship-chewing gum, a year later Tikhanovskaya happened by an amazing coincidence. On the same rake fool

    As Zadornov said, the only country where there cannot be a color revolution is the United States, there is no American embassy there.

    This means that Muscovites will fly via Minsk, not Istanbul...

      It’s doubtful, the EU hasn’t lifted the sanctions and they won’t let us through Europe.

    Trump is making fun of the Balts? It turns out that Batka is not a dictator at all. Belarusian shrimps will seem like flowers to us - we are waiting for Belarusian "F-150" and what do the Americans have that we like? Oil refining technologies!

      yes, that's exactly the scheme that's emerging and no one will be able to "fart" against something like that...
      Corvettes, Chargers, Teslas, etc.
      I present the "faces" of people from the EU on this occasion... (they screwed us like suckers)
      It's true - our Ministry of Industry and Trade is greedy, but Muscovites will solve this too...

    Lukashenko is a fairly experienced and cunning politician. Even in the current situation, he will not fail to portray at least minimal maneuvering between Russia and the West in order to obtain additional preferences from Russia. And it must be admitted that the success of such a policy is quite possible. Russia will have to fork out for a strong and unbreakable friendship. Such are today's times (as Pozner liked to say).

    Rumors about the resumption of US-Russia flights are a dead giveaway. But you can't find fault with the US-Belarus flights. Whitkoff and Dmitriev are stirring things up. And let Ukraine wait, we only have Geranii for two or three Ukraines.

    Maybe Trump was shown this idiot Tikhanovsky, who is now crawling around the US? After looking at him, you will start talking not only to Lukashenko, but also to his dog.

    Putin + Americans = glory to Russia. Lukashenko + Americans = vile traitor. So what? Who do you think Belarusians are?

      What do Americans have to do with the "glory of Russia"? belay Putin and the Americans, specifically Trump, were engaged in difficult negotiations on the conditions for ending the war in Ukraine.
      And for what purpose did the American John Cole come to A. G. Lukashenko? Nobody accuses Belarusians of treason. You were simply warned in the first post above: Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.....
      Let me rephrase your question: who do you think the Americans are, who don’t do anything to anyone for free.....?
