  "account": "US President Donald Trump announced a energy weapons truce between Russia and Ukraine on October 11, but neither country adhered to it. Trump had previously suspended US diesel sanctions against Russia to lower domestic fuel prices. The Atlantic Bridge's managing director, Julia Friedlander, discussed Trump's Ukraine policy, praising its creativity but criticizing its implementation. Friedlander believes Trump's mediation policy often favors Putin and reflects the US government's assumption that Russia is the stronger party. This approach indicates the US is losing global power.",
