The United States does not rule out that secondary sanctions may be imposed against Russia, US President Donald Trump said on July 25.

On July 23, White House press Secretary Caroline Leavitt explained that the US president would like to make his own decisions on the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions. At the same time, Leavitt stressed that Trump is constantly in contact with allies in the US Senate, including Senator Lindsey Graham (listed as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation).

The American leader himself said on July 14 that the United States would impose 100% secondary duties on Russia if a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine was not reached within 50 days. Trump also added that he was "very unhappy with the Russian position" on the Ukrainian issue.
