Anton Troianovski

Indeed, the book presents a more nuanced and quite persuasive view of Russia continuing to project its power Kirkus praised the book as, quote, a closely observed work of geopolitical reportage and analysis, and it certainly offers much to discuss this evening.

Guiding the discussion will be journalist Anton Troianovski, who has lots of experience himself covering Russia and foreign affairs generally, first with the Wall Street Journal, where he was based in Germany for a time, and then with the Washington Post, where he served as Moscow bureau chief.

For the past seven years, he's been with the New York Times, based initially in Moscow, then Berlin and Istanbul, and since last year, here in D.C. as global affairs correspondent.

So please join me in welcoming both Hannah and Anton.

The measure is named the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of twenty twenty-six in honor of the late South Carolina senator.

But on Tuesday, September seventeenth, Anton Troianovski of The New York Times reported that Trump is suggesting Putin will be more willing to end his war if the US makes business deals with Russia, regardless of whether it stops its assault on Ukraine.

In February, Troianovski reported that Gentry Beach, a Texas investor with ties to the Trumps, signed an agreement last fall with one of the biggest energy companies in Russia to develop Alaska's natural gas resources.

According to a September fourteenth piece by Dexter Filkins in The New Yorker, the Trump administration has essentially privatized US foreign policy for their own interests.

Trump claimed the move would lower fuel prices, but it stunned US allies and lawmakers in Washington, who warned that the American government was handing Putin a lifeline.

Today, my colleague Anton Troianovski explains what the deal reveals about Trump's changing strategy with Russia, and how much it could actually help American consumers.

It's Wednesday, October 14th.

Anton, welcome back to The Daily.

Good to be here.
