Trump says he is not involved in discussions on frozen Russian assets

President of the United States Donald Trump commented on the possible use of frozen Russian assets as an instrument of pressure during future negotiations.

When asked by journalists whether the White House plans to join this process, Trump gave a short answer:

“I am not involved in this. I think Europe and Russia are negotiating. I am not involved in these discussions,” the president said.

The context of international negotiations

Trump's remarks come amid ongoing international consultations on how Western countries can use Frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine and resolve the armed conflict.

The United States' European partners are actively discussing the possibility of redistributing the proceeds of these assets or creating a special fund to help the Ukrainian economy.

Political significance of the statement

Trump's comment demonstrates Washington's cautious stance on participating in financial sanctions mechanisms that could complicate diplomatic contacts with Moscow.
Analysts say that the president is trying to distance himself from a topic that is causing controversy among NATO allies.
