> European officials voiced frustration at the US backing away from the plan at a point where they are already moving ahead, since the Trump administration has been urging the EU to make greater use of the Russian funds.
The US are all about posturing. They claim we should sanction Russia (which we obviously should) only to gain leverage against us on unrelated subjects eg. the tarrifs. And when we do push sanctions on Russia, Krasnov backtrack and try to impeded them when he realize his boss will not be happy with it.
Why does the G-7 need the US for this? The article itself says that the US-held Russian asset is 5 billion USD as opposed to the nearly 300 billion USD of Russian assets held in Europe.
>Washington’s hesitation — and its concerns about market stability — are likely to embolden doubters within the EU, including Belgium, where the bulk of the assets are held. The Belgians have warned that any extended use of the assets could trigger lawsuits exposing governments to massive liabilities, destabilize the credibility of Europe’s financial hub and even weaken the euro.
Ah, but of course it is because it allows other countries to weasel out. Unless America does something certain European countries won’t do it. Truly spineless.
