US-RUSSIA-SANCTION
Trump said US sanctions on Russia will remain in place and unchanged
WASHINGTON, July 31, 2018 (BSS /TASS) – Washington’s sanctions against
Moscow will remain in place and unchanged for now, US President Donald Trump
said during a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe
Conte in the White House on Monday.
“Sanctions against Russia will remain as is,” he said.
The United States repeatedly imposed sanctions against Russia. In
particular, during the presidency of Trump, Russian diplomats were expelled
from the country and the Consulates of the Russian Federation in San
Francisco, California and Seattle, Washington, were closed. Currently, a
group of senators in the US Congress is working on a new package of sanctions
against Moscow, which is currently supported by legislators from both
parties.
