The US has prepared sanctions against Russia — but it is unclear whether Trump will sign them

The United States has finalised new economic sanctions against Russia, covering the banking and energy sectors, to increase pressure on Moscow. Among the targets are Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom and key players in the natural resources and banking sectors.

However, it remains unclear whether US President Donald Trump will approve this package of sanctions. ‘The US National Security Council is trying to agree on a set of tougher measures against Russia. This decision must be approved by Trump,’ said the source.
