The text states that "the actions and policies referred to in these decrees continue to constitute an unusual and extreme threat to national security and the foreign policy of the United States."
In this regard, as noted in the document, “the state of emergency in the country declared on March 6, 2014, and the measures taken on this day, March 16, 2014, March 20, 2014, December 19, 2014 and September 20, 2018, to cope with this emergency, they must continue to operate after March 6, 2020. "
“I will extend the national state of emergency declared in decree 13660 for a year,” the text says.
Thus, Trump extended the decree 13660 of 2014, which was announced by President Barack Obama and provides for restrictive measures against a number of Russians.
Earlier it was reported that the United States imposed sanctions against citizens and companies from Russia, Iran, Turkey and China in accordance with the law on non-proliferation in Iran, North Korea and Syria.
