  "account": "US House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed his distrust toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that relations with him should be approached with caution. According to Fox News, Johnson spoke with former President Donald Trump and Senator Marco Rubio about Russia, emphasizing the US's intention to engage in trilateral negotiations concerning the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Johnson further urged the White House in private discussions to carefully consider the potential repercussions of easing sanctions on Russia, as the nation persists in its war on Ukraine.\n\nThis development follows the US president's recent decision to suspend the implementation of a bill proposed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, which would have imposed sanctions on Russia and Iran. The bill's introduction came after the administration had already eased some restrictions on Russian diesel exports.",
