Trump’s Unexpected Move Sparks International Tension
In a startling turn of events, US President Donald Trump has caused a significant international stir! With a surprising move, he has accidentally removed certain Russian entities from the sanctions list, including the state agency Rosoboronexport, which is responsible for Russian arms exports. What lies ahead?
Astonishing Details on Sanctions Lifting
On June 30, Trump signed an executive order lifting the sanctions imposed on Syria since 2004. However, this action had an unexpected collateral effect: several Russian institutions, banks, and individuals were removed from the blacklist, including Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, former president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) and de facto leader of Kalmykia.
Russian Entities “Freed” from Sanctions
Among the ten “accidental” Russian entities that escaped sanctions are:
- Russian Financial Alliance Bank, owned by Kirsan Ilyumzhinov
- Tempbank, whose license was revoked in 2017
- Mir Business Bank, affiliated with the Iranian bank Melli Iran
- Russian Financial Corporation (RFK) Bank, a Russian state bank
- Promsyreimport, a federal state enterprise
- Global Concepts Group, with ties in Russia
- STG Logistic and Global Vision Group, companies with Russian connections
- Maritime Assistance, also linked to Russia
- Rosoboronexport, the state arms agency
Ilyumzhinov’s Reaction and International Impact
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, sanctioned since 2015 for his support of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, has expressed a desire to meet Trump personally to thank him and play a game of chess. The famous eccentric has previously stirred controversy by claiming to have been abducted by aliens!
What’s Next for International Relations?
Trump’s decision to lift sanctions against Syria was welcomed by officials from the affected country. Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani stated that this gesture will support the recovery and development of the country after years of civil war. However, the question remains: what implications will this move have on international relations, especially amidst tensions with Russia?
Stay tuned for updates on this intriguing subject! What will Trump do next, and how will the international community react? Only time will tell!
