Trump Administration "is not considering supporting a referendum in the eastern Ukraine. The Minsk Agreements are the process for resolving the conflict in the Donbas, and these agreements do not include any option for referendum," says NSC Spokesman, Garrett Marquis.
"Furthermore, to organize a so-called referendum in a part of Ukraine which is not under government control would have no legitimacy," adds NSC spokesman.
On a related note, @DeptofDefense is providing $200 million to #Ukraine "in security cooperation funds for additional training, equipment and advisory efforts to build the defensive capacity of Ukraine’s forces." defense.gov/News/News-Rele…

And @POTUS agreed that on Jan. 1, he'll "leave tariffs on $200 billion worth of product at the 10% rate, and not raise it to 25% at this time," adds @PressSec.
"China will agree to purchase a not yet agreed upon, but very substantial, amount of agricultural, energy, industrial, and other product from the United States to reduce the trade imbalance between our two countries," according to @PressSec.

🚨NEW: #Putin told Russian diplomats he made a proposal to Trump at Helsinki summit to hold a referendum to resolve (his!) war in eastern #Ukraine.

It’s nuts we keep learning major news from #Russia. As if the Kremlin’s in charge of and guiding US policy! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Let's review some facts: Putin invaded eastern #Ukraine's Donbas region to punish Ukraine for ousting his puppet Yanukovych. 10000+ dead, 1.7 million Ukrainians left Donbas as a result of war & occupation. How Soviet—Putin wants a referendum after Donbas is cleansed of Ukrainians
Now that Russia drained Eastern Ukraine of 2 million Ukrainians and local resources, Putin proposes a “referendum” to Trump at Helsinki summit. Maybe Putin’s tired of funding the criminal fiefdoms his invasion established. I’ll never forget how they desecrated the ruins of MH17.
