Russian Media Claims Trump Has Ruled Out New Sanctions

Source: The Daily Beast




The U.S. has informed the Kremlin that is has no intention to impose new sanctions on Russia, according to Russian state media. News agency TASS, citing an unnamed Russian foreign ministry source, reported that the U.S. told the Russian embassy in Washington, D.C. that there are no plans to add to the sanctions announced at the start of April. “I can confirm that the U.S. has notified the Russian embassy that there will be no new sanctions for some time,” the source is quoted as saying to Russian media. Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, announced Sunday that there would be fresh sanctions against Russia, but was thrown under the bus by the White House, which said Haley was “confused.” The Washington Post reported that President Trump personally intervened to put the brakes on planned new sanctions.

Why do we need to hear about substantive american policy from RT? You would think the WH would at least let our own press corp know.

The russians are just hitting spanky with a rolled up magazine at this point. They are peeing on his leg and establishing territory. And trump is just taking it.

Only one reason. Only one.

Seems like nobody talks to each other or knows what the narrative should be - they're all doing their own thing without telling anyone else.
