US administration would be wise to learn from the EU's past experience (I'm not expecting they will) of offering economic benefits to Russia in the hope of solving strategic disagreements. Russia won't give up its geopolitical goals in exchange for economic partnership with US (or Europe).
⚡️Economic partnership with US could spur Russia to end war, White House says.
"There is an incentive for Russia to end this war and perhaps that could be economic partnerships with the United States," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on April 15.

Enamat kui süsteemne rivaal: Hiina kui ELi julgeoleku proovikivi – Diplomaatia
Euroopa Liidu sidemed Hiinaga jäävad tähtsuse poolest alla ainult transatlantilistele suhetele. Pikka aega keskendus EL Hiinale kui ühele peamisele kaubanduspartnerile ja sellega kaasnevatele majandus...
