This was warned by the head of the US Treasury Department Steven Mnuchin. He outlined more specific deadlines for the introduction of new anti-Russian sanctions. His words are given by the correspondent of Bloomberg Saleh Mohsin. Restrictions will be introduced "in the next 30 days," the minister said.. First, "all existing sanctions" are implemented, and then new ones will be introduced, "he added.. Earlier, on February 23, Mnuchin had already spoken about sanctions. Speaking at a press conference in the White House, he, talking about the new restrictions on North Korea, mentioned Russia. Prior to that, he attended hearings in the Senate. At the end of January, the day after the publication of the so-called "Kremlin report" by the Ministry of Finance, in reply to a question about the timing of the imposition of new sanctions, the minister did not specify the exact dates and noted that he would be cautious in assumptions,. In the United States, a number of restrictions have been adopted or are being prepared for our country.

This is connected, as was repeatedly noted in Washington, with the situation in the Crimea and the Donbass, as well as with the "interference" in the American elections. Fulfilling the law signed by the US President in the summer, on January 29, the Ministry of Finance published the "Kremlin list". Almost all representatives of the Russian leadership and large domestic businessmen got into it - more than 200 people. The document does not mean that sanctions are automatically imposed against them, but it implies that they can be applied later.
