Despite widely held beliefs that Vladimir Putin's weakened position would lead to concessions during negotiations, former President Donald Trump has struggled to secure any agreement. Conventional wisdom suggested that Russia's economic hardships and military losses would create an opportunity for Trump's assertive negotiating style. However, after three months of discussions, Trump has not obtained significant concessions, even threatening to abandon the negotiations altogether. This unexpected outcome raises questions about the true dynamics of power in U.S.-Russia relations and highlights the complexities involved in achieving diplomatic resolutions in such fraught contexts.
In the landscape of U.S.-Russia negotiations, traditional wisdom posited that a weakened Putin would yield concessions. Instead, Trump remained unable to secure any agreement despite this belief.
Conventional thought suggested that the dire state of Russia's economy and military would make negotiations easy for Trump, yet he ended up without a single tangible concession from Putin.
