Following the easing of American sanctions, Belarus has already resumed shipments of potash fertilizers to the USA. Lukashenko confirmed that a shipment for the American market is currently being loaded. However, before any further agreements, Minsk is demanding the return of $43–44 million which, according to Lukashenko, was transferred by a company cooperating with Belarus and is stuck at Citibank.
“Return the money. This is a disgrace for the USA. Then we can talk about more serious matters.”
More serious matters would indeed come next: the further lifting of sanctions, the restoration of the embassies’ full-fledged operations, and the expansion of trade. Lukashenko also stated his readiness to meet with Trump, but stressed that the meeting must produce a concrete result and must not be a “decorative event.”
