US Department of USA does not support the idea of recognizing Russia
Journalists recall that in July, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Nancy Pelosi announced the willingness of Congress to recognize Russia with a country that sponsored terrorism, if the State Department does not bring the Russian Federation to the "black" list. Later, the Senate adopted a resolution calling to the Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to go to such a step.
However, as Politico notes, the legislators have not supported today, but did not oppose Russia's declaration of Russia's terrorism. In addition, as insiders say, the State Department representatives transferred to Congress documents, which argue the unwillingness of the Department to enter the Russian Federation in the "black" list.
"The State Department is afraid that the introduction of Russia in the list of state-sponsors of terrorism will jeopardize a fragile agreement that allows the grain courts to leave Ukrainian ports. Months have gone to reach this agreement.
Only North Korea, Syria, Cuba and Iran have been awarded - general sanctions that mean that the United States, in fact, cut off Americans from participation in business transactions in these countries, taking into account the various private sector entities necessary to support the shipping agreement , and it affects other key economic relations that the US is maintained - for example, by nuclear materials, " - said in Politico.
Officials who advocate Russia's introduction to the "black" list say that such a decision will not lead to increased sanctions and disruption of food supply agreements. The interlocutors also hope that the Presidential Administration Joe Biden will support the initiative, which will make the law on the recognition of the Russian Federation by the country-existence of terrorism.
