Meaning in context

Please explain what does the term general barter mean in the context of regions and issues "Like the Russian, he seems sure to prefer bilateral deals to messy supranational bodies and is likely to define America’s national interest in narrowly military and commercial terms. Both men seem willing to link disparate issues and regions in a general barter"

"barter" means the exchange of one thing for another, so (assuming it is talking about Trump and Putin), it is saying that Trump might concede one issue in exchange for Putin conceding a completely urelated issue in a different part of the world.
