为了换取普京释放政治犯，特朗普提出了放松对俄制裁的设想。这位美国总统急于在乌克兰战争尚未结束前便与莫斯科达成协议。为此，白宫于9月28日请求参议院批准任命现任美国驻白俄罗斯特使约翰·科尔为驻俄大使。
Easing sanctions against Russia in exchange for the release of political prisoners held by Vladimir Putin is the latest idea from US President Donald Trump, eager to strike deals with Moscow even before the war in Ukraine has ended. To that end, the White House asked the Senate on September 28 to approve the appointment of John Coale, currently the US envoy to Belarus, as ambassador. Coale, Trump's former lawyer, made a name for himself in 2025 by negotiating with Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko's regime to secure the release of hundreds of political prisoners in exchange for the lifting of US sanctions, notably on potash, a fertilizer crucial to the country's economy.
作为特朗普的前律师，科尔在2025年因与白俄罗斯总统卢卡申科谈判而声名鹊起。他促成了数百名政治犯的释放，作为交换，美国解除了针对白俄罗斯的制裁，尤其是涉及该国经济命脉——钾肥行业的限制措施。在9月17日接受俄罗斯反对派电视台《Nastoiachtche Vremia》采访时，科尔表示希望白俄罗斯这个莫斯科的头号盟友能“重返国际社会”。据《大西洋月刊》9月29日披露，科尔计划将这一模式复制到与普京的谈判中。
During an interview with the Russian opposition television channel Nastoiachtche Vremia on September 17, Coale expressed hope that Belarus, Moscow's number one ally, would "return to the family of nations." The Atlantic revealed on September 29 that Coale now plans to replicate the same approach with Putin. You have 86.06% of this article left to read. The rest is forrs only.
