The President of the United States Donald trump approved new sanctions against Russia for breach of contract on the elimination of intermediate-range and shorter-range nuclear forces (INF).
“The US administration is applying new sanctions against Russia, which it hopes will force her to adhere to the Treaty on nuclear weapons during the cold war, which she broke by expanding the prohibited cruise missile”, – quotes the edition of Politico according to the American senior representative of the administration.
Reportedly, the Ministry of Commerce of the United States “would punish Russian companies that provided technology to help develop a new weapon, which was prohibited by the Treaty”.
