President Trump on Monday put the brakes on a preliminary plan to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia, walking back a Sunday announcement by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley that the Kremlin had swiftly denounced as international economic raiding.
Preparations to punish Russia anew for its support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assads government over the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria caused consternation at the White House. Haley said on CBS News Face the Nation that sanctions on Russian companies behind the equipment related to Assads alleged chemical weapons attack would be announced Monday by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
But as officials in Moscow condemned the planned sanctions as overly punitive, Trump conferred with his national security advisers later Sunday and told them he was upset the sanctions were being officially rolled out because he was not yet comfortable executing them, according to several people familiar with the plan.

This was tragically predictable.
We have a Kremlin puppet in the Oval Office. We need to deal with that fact. Now.

(31,112 posts)1. I will never forget him and the KGB officers in our oval office flipping their noses at
our journalists, Rump and the ambassador and the other guy.
Putin owns him, Putin is a bad guy. Supporters of Rump better understand Putin wants their money, their land, etc.

taunting our journalists, as if they owned the Whitehouse, is, as the Brits might say, what really got my dander up. Im still angered by it.
