According to Stephen Mnuchin, the head of the US Treasury, such measures are also approved by the presidential administration and the Congress. Such measures the US political leadership decided to take in connection with the impressive evidence base on the Kremlin's interference in the course of the American elections.
The US Treasury believes that the arguments and facts of Special Prosecutor Robert Muller about the alleged interference of the Russian Federation during the election campaign of Donal Trump and Hillary Clinton are a very real incentive for the implementation of new sanctions.
A separate portion of sanctions will also be imposed against those companies that are suspected of organizing cyber attacks on the US.
As reported in "URA-Inform," the United States of America recently published a list of new bans on trade with North Korea.
