Yarygin pointed out that recently, the imposition of sanctions has become “normal practice” for the United States.
“The US Treasury feels free to use the sanction tool and does not feel any political or other restrictions, is not afraid of the reverse actions that Russia, in particular, can take ... At the same time, Russia may have tools that allow it to act in response for such sanctions, ”the political scientist said.
He explained that now in the US, the sanctions policy is "as broad as the US Treasury now sees it."
“This is a continuation of the sanctions policy, which, while the president is busy with domestic policy issues, re-election ... will be applied very intensively. This tool can be used very actively, ”the expert added.
Earlier in the office of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, they announced the expansion of the sanctions policy against Russia, Iran, Turkey and China.
In particular, five organizations and individuals from China and Turkey were included in the list of sanctions for “supporting Iran’s missile program.”
