Trump acknowledged Russia's ability to successfully deal with anti-Russian sanctions

The Russian authorities are successfully coping with the sanctions, but Washington is ready to consider tightening them. This was announced on August 1 by US President Donald Trump in an interview with Newsmax.

This is how he answered the question of what further actions would be taken if an agreement on the Ukrainian conflict was not reached within the 10 days he had set earlier.

"We will impose sanctions. He (Russian President Vladimir Putin. — Ed.) is a master in this business. He knows how to avoid them," Trump said.

On July 14, Trump announced his intention to impose 100% secondary duties on Russia if the Ukrainian conflict is not resolved in 50 days. Later, on July 28, he announced that he had reduced this period to 10-12 days.

In addition, on July 31, Trump announced that the United States would impose anti-Russian sanctions after a 10-day period. However, he is not sure that they will have any effect.
