Russia Warns of Further Strain in US Relations

Donald Trump plans to exit NATO on his first day in office, a move that could reshape international power dynamics and accelerate global de-dollarization, according to experts. His advisers are reportedly considering proposals that could involve conceding parts of Ukraine to Russia, further complicating the ongoing conflict. Legal experts suggest that Congress may struggle to prevent Trump's withdrawal due to ambiguous laws, potentially leaving NATO's future uncertain. Meanwhile, Russia has expressed readiness to negotiate with Trump's administration but remains skeptical about a significant shift in U.S. policy. Tensions between the U.S. and Russia are at a breaking point, with the Russian Foreign Ministry warning citizens against traveling to the U.S. or EU due to perceived risks of persecution. Additionally, Russia's long-standing grievances, including NATO's eastward expansion and military support for Ukraine, have fueled its narrative of being in a state of war with the West since 2014.
