WASHINGTON — As U.S. and Ukrainian officials prepare to meet in Saudi Arabia this week, President Donald Trump has privately made clear to aides that a signed minerals deal between Washington and Kyiv won’t be enough to restart aid and intelligence sharing with the war-torn country, according an administration official and another U.S. official.Trump wants the deal, which would give the U.S. a stake in Ukraine’s mineral resources, signed.

As it moves to transform U.S. relations with Russia, the Trump administration is talking with Moscow about readmitting potentially scores of Russian diplomats into the United States after years of expulsions.But the good-will gesture, which would be reciprocated by Moscow, could be a kind of Trojan horse, experts and diplomats warn, as the Kremlin is likely to dispatch spies posing as diplomats to restore its diminished espionage capabilities within the United States.U.S. and Russian officials met in Istanbul last month to discuss returning more diplomats to each other’s countries after years of tit-for-tat expulsions and the shuttering of diplomatic facilities.…
“The U.S. government hasn’t actually paid us since the end of December. We have about $12 million that we’ve delivered. We wonder if that’s — is the U.S. government still good? Is their word still good?” Just weeks after he took office, President Trump took aim at U.S.A.I.D. “The whole thing is a fraud. Very little, very little being put to good use.” But his mission to cut foreign aid spending could cost thousands of jobs at home. “Here we have sugar coming out of Florida, sometimes from Tennessee. We have peanuts from Georgia, obviously. We have canola oil from…

El desacoplamiento, como se le llamaba, rompería la alianza de Occidente que impedía que los tanques soviéticos rodaran por las llanuras prusianas.Ahora, en cuestión de semanas, el presidente Trump ha hecho a Moscú el regalo que le fue esquivo durante la Guerra Fría y desde entonces.Europa, abandonada, está conmocionada. Estados Unidos, una nación cuya idea central es la libertad y cuya vocación principal ha sido la defensa de la democracia frente a la tiranía, le ha dado la espalda a su aliado…

Their topic was sensitive: how to implement a future cease-fire in Ukraine.Last week, that group of experts went public for the first time, publishing a 31-page paper that delves into the technical details of how a cease-fire along a more than 700-mile front line could be monitored and enforced. The paper was shared last month via another confidential channel: a recurring meeting in Geneva between American, Russian and Ukrainian foreign-policy experts who are close to their governments.The paper, one of…
