Why these cases

Trump sold “America First.” This record traces how public money, power, and risk moved toward family businesses, donors, favored firms, and foreign governments: and what workers, ranchers, retirees, patients, veterans, and small investors were left to absorb.

Promise unresolved

General License 134B relaxed transaction prohibitions for a bounded class of Russian-origin cargoes through May 16, 2026, and General License 134C superseded it on May 18. The available evidence names no completed counterparties, quantifies no captured value, and does not show the licenses lifting broader Russia sanctions.
