Washington has assessed all the negative consequences of anti-Russian sanctions, even those that could harm the United States itself, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said at a briefing for journalists.
“This was clearly taken into account from the very beginning. And we are ready to do what is necessary“, she said.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said that he was reducing the 50-day deadline he had previously set for achieving a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine to 10 days.
If the talks fail, Trump plans to introduce import tariffs, sanctions or “something else“. At the same time, the American leader admitted that he was not confident in the effectiveness of the restrictions.
