Trump called those calling for new anti-Russian restrictions stupid, noting that they were only laughed at in Moscow. "Stupid people wanted me to impose sanctions against Russia. They (in Russia - editors) are laughing at the sanctions," said the US president at an event at the White House. He also emphasized that such steps will only complicate the dialogue with the Russian Federation.
