President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said on Sunday that there would be an expectation that U.S. firms may do business in Russia in the event of a peace deal in the Russia-Ukraine war.
Trump has been pushing for a deal to end the war in Ukraine and held separate calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy this month.
"Obviously there would be an expectation that if we get to a peace deal, that you would be able to have American companies come back and do business there. And I think that everybody would believe that that would be a positive, good thing to happen," Witkoff told the CBS News program "Face The Nation."
