U.S. Secretary of State "Opposes" Trump: U.S. Will Not Expand Sanctions on Russia

BlockBeats News, April 28th. On Sunday, US Secretary of State Pompeo stated that the US will not expand sanctions against Russia to avoid interfering with the peace process to resolve the Ukraine conflict. However, US President Trump tweeted yesterday that perhaps it is necessary to deal with Putin through financial sanctions or secondary sanctions.

Pompeo also stated that Russia and Ukraine are generally closer to reaching a peace agreement than they have been in the past three years. The peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine needs to be reached as soon as possible, and the US has various ways to hold accountable those who are unwilling to push for a peace agreement in Ukraine.
