The US will decide on “hellish sanctions” against Russia after assessing the consequences

U.S. President Donald Trump will decide on possible sanctions against the largest buyers of Russian oil and gas after assessing the possible consequences. This was stated in an interview with CBS News by US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.

Journalist Margaret Brennan asked Mr. Wright whether the American president is going to impose sanctions under the law of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. The lawmaker called the initiative "hellish sanctions." The journalist noted that the decision to impose duties against buyers of Russian energy resources should be taken before October 18.

He [Donald Trump] makes all the decisions at the last minute. He will assess all possible consequences and compromises. He is relentlessly trying to end this war, Wright said.

Donald Trump signed the “hellish sanctions” bill on September 19. It allows the introduction of duties of up to 100% on the goods of the largest buyers of Russian energy carriers. Among them are China, India and Turkey. The law also obliges Mr. Trump to impose sanctions against Russian officials, agencies, companies and ships of the “shadow fleet”.
