Representatives of President Donald Trump issued different information about his support for new sanctions against the Russian Federation. The day before, the project was published on the congress website, voting on it is expected on Tuesday. One of the key points is the restriction of Trump's ability to relieve sanctions without the consent of lawmakers. At the same time, the head of the White House press service Sarah Sanders said that the president is supporting the new bill. And the Communications Director of Anthony Skaramucci claims that Trump "has not yet decided".
The document is agreed by the Republicans and democrats from both chambers of the American Congress, and, as expected, the only obstacle to the document will be the signature of the president.
Sarah Sanders said the following on this subject: "The administration maintains rigidity against Russia and the introduction of these sanctions, in particular ... We will continue to work with the Chamber (representatives) and the Senate in order to put these strict sanctions against Russia until the situation in Ukraine is normalized." (Quote for RIA "Novosti" .)
Scaramucci broadcast another position in an interview with Fox News . “I did not decide,” he answered the corresponding question. He added that the White House strives for "de -escalation, since the story with Russia is too inflated."
The European Union called the project the unilateral actions of Washington and believes that it can lead to large -scale and unforeseen consequences. In the bill, despite reports of the requests of American business to introduce changes, the energy provisions, in particular, were preserved against Northern Stream-2.
