Cole added that Trump ordered the sanctions on the airline lifted “immediately.”
An American delegation led by US presidential envoy John Cole arrived in the Belarusian capital Minsk on Thursday, September 11. During the meeting, he announced that the US had lifted sanctions on the Belarusian airline Belavia, reports the BELTA Telegram channel .
At a meeting with the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, Cole reported that the head of the White House ordered the lifting of sanctions on the airline “immediately”:
“I want to state here absolutely officially that we have lifted the sanctions on Belavia. This is official. I had a meeting with President Trump, which was attended by several dozen other people. This decision was made by the president, who said: ‘Do it immediately,'” Cole said.
Trump’s representative added that this decision has already been made and approved by all relevant ministries and agencies involved in this work: the US Department of State, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Treasury, etc.
Cole also added that the US wants to normalize relations with Belarus. According to him, on the way to Alaska, US President Donald Trump allegedly had an important phone conversation with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Trump’s representative noted that it was a very good and productive conversation, after which the White House chief instructed him to call Lukashenko again, which he did.
Cole added that the lifting of sanctions on Belavia Airlines is just the beginning.
“If we come to the right decisions in the process of our discussion, our meeting on the remaining detainees (meaning prisoners, – ed. note), I think we can achieve a lot on the path to normalizing relations,” the US presidential spokesman added.
According to media reports, Lukashenko released 52 political prisoners, including 14 foreign citizens — from Great Britain, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, and France, and therefore the US lifted sanctions on the airline.

TRUMP HAS REACTED ON THE DRONE ATTACK ON POLAND!!!!!
STOP SANCTIONS ON BELARUS IMMEDIATELY!!!!
America shows everyday on what side it is…………..
This just unbelievable Lift sanctions to a dictator. WTF is going on?
Lets conveniently forget that it was Luka that allowed Ukraine to be invaded from the territory of Belarus, which in itself is a war crime according to the Geneva convention. I guess the US have abandoned all morals to bow down before every dictator in the world. This is a disgusting act by the TACO regime.
POLAND CLOSES THE SKY WITH BELARUS AND ON THE SAME MOMENT AMERICA OPENS THEM…………
In this case, what the fascist in the WH does is irrelevant. The skies around Belarus are still closed by the EU, so from what I see, who cares what the idiot is doing
Taco proving once again what a fascist and moron he really is.
