US Agrees to Return 'Unreleased Funds' to Belarus, Says Trump Envoy
Special envoy John Coale said Washington is working to recover funds owed to Belarus that had not yet been disbursed, according to Russian news agency TASS.
The United States has agreed to return "unreleased funds" to Belarus, according to John Coale, an envoy associated with the administration of former President Donald Trump, TASS reported.
Coale said the U.S. government is now working to "chase back" this money, though he did not specify the exact amount involved, the nature of the funds, or the circumstances under which they were withheld, according to the TASS report.
TASS did not provide additional details on the timeline for the return of the funds or the broader context of the financial arrangement between Washington and Minsk.
Neither the U.S. State Department nor Belarusian officials have issued a separate public statement confirming the details reported by TASS at the time of this report.
This report is based on limited information made available through TASS, and further details on the funds and the process for their return have not been independently verified.
