Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trumps Special Envoy to the Middle East, has said that American companies could resume business in Russia if a peace deal is reached to resolve the war in Ukraine.
Source Reuters, as reported by European Pravda Details Witkoffs remarks come as Trump seeks to broker an agreement to end Russias war against Ukraine.
Quote Obviously there would be an expectation that if we get to a peace deal, that you would be able to have American companies come back and do business there.
And I think that everybody would believe that that would be a positive, good thing to happen.
Background Witkoff also claimed that the US is very close to reaching a peace settlement on the war in Ukraine.
Trump himself, in an interview with Fox News, expressed doubts about whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyys involvement in peace talks is important.
On 18 February, senior officials from Russia and the US met in Saudi Arabia without Ukraines involvement.
During the meeting, both sides agreed to remove irritants in their bilateral relations and continue working towards preparing for negotiations on Russias war against Ukraine.
