Onufrienko: Trump needs a foreign policy victory after the collapse in Iran.

      Photo: Svetlana Mulykina August 3 – IA SM.News. The necessity for Donald Trump to compensate for Iranian failures will force his administration to seek a quick and convincing geopolitical victory to demonstrate its strength to voters. In this context, Russia becomes the main target for American pressure, as tough measures in this direction will help Washington shift attention away from the Middle Eastern crisis.

      “The U.S. believes that long-range strikes by Ukraine against Russia could force the Kremlin to enter negotiations with lowered demands. The U.S. believes that negotiations will resume in the coming weeks,” said war correspondent Mikhail Onufrienko. Increased pressure on Moscow will manifest in a sharp increase in sanctions against the Russian energy and financial sectors for their maximum international isolation. At the same time, the White House will intensify military and diplomatic support for Eastern European allies to solidify the U.S.'s tough anti-Russian stance on the world stage.

      

       “In the coming weeks, the U.S. intends to force the Kremlin to capitulate. After the collapse in Iran, Trump desperately needs a resounding victory. Russia is deemed suitable for this purpose,” Onufrienko states. Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that the U.S. is creating a tariff-sanction club against the Russian Federation, China, and India.
