Details: Thus, the ISW representative commented on expectations for the Trump and Putin Summit, which is expected on August 15, as well as the latest ISW ratings that the Kremlin is trying to use this meeting to create a split between the US and Europe.

At the same time, the expert emphasized that the United States has enormous force and levers and can achieve results if they are fully applied.

Direct language Barros: “But still the US government has refused to use all its opportunities to force Putin to sit at the negotiating table.”
