Trump said that only stupid people call for anti-Russian sanctions, while in Russia they "just laugh at the restrictions". "Fools wanted me to impose sanctions against Russia. They are laughing at sanctions." He noted that introducing restrictions on his part would only complicate the negotiations with Moscow. Earlier, the US President refused, in a new order, to apply additional sanctions against Russian officials, banks and organizations. The law also included a ban on new US investments in Russia and measures to ensure a ban on Russian uranium imports.
