The day before, Trump announced new sanctions against Russia's trading partners. At the same time, the politician did not rule out that the United States could subsequently cancel duties of 25% against India for the purchase of Russian oil. In addition, restrictions on trade with Russia may be imposed on China.

On August 6, the American newspaper New York Post (NYP) wrote that Trump might not impose new anti-Russian sanctions after the expiration of his ultimatum to the Russian Federation. According to sources, the US presidential administration is "making every effort to conclude a deal."
