What is Trump's team preparing for?

According to anonymous sources, the United States is currently actively working on a new package of sanctions against Russia.

This time, Russia's energy sector could be hit — this will happen if dictator Putin cancels the peace efforts of Trump and his team.

As of today, several options for action are in the spotlight:

• a sanctions strike on vessels of Russia's "shadow fleet" of tankers used to transport Russian oil;

• targeting traders who facilitate these transactions.

Insiders claim that new measures may be announced in the coming days.

What is important to understand is that the final decision will still be made directly by Donald Trump.

Discussions on further steps come as American and Ukrainian negotiators made some progress this week on the terms of the "peace plan."
