Removing sanctions on Putin’s little guy in Belarus in order to cope with the damage done to US agriculture by the trade war we started with Canada

Also how is it going to get to the US? Apparently Lithuania (the obvious choice) has been resisting allowing transshipment: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Will this mean there’s a trade deficit and there’ll now have to be sanctions? Hard to keep up with whether trading with the US is good or bad

Looks like a deal on extension of many EU sanctions against Russians - a couple of names removed from the list, but three years until the next review (so a Le Pen government or whoever could not veto a further extension next September)

Sanctions update: a majority has accepted a compromise.
- Usmanov and Fridman removed
- Sanctions renewed for 36 months

But the written procedure hasn't been launched yet. Consultations are still ongoing.

The United States apparently plans further sanctions against the International Criminal Court

Several representatives of the court have already been sanctioned; now the sanctions should be extended to the entire agency. That would have far-reaching consequences.

Everything must be ready to activate the EU Blocking Statute to shield the ICC from US sanctions targeting it as an institution. The European Commission and all EU member states that considered this measure premature or too radical must now realise that it can no longer be postponed.
