EU disagrees with US over new sanctions against Russia

US President Donald Trump has not yet clarified his position if Russia intervened in the US elections in 2016; Also, he is still in doubt about making a decision on new anti-Russian sanctions, according to White House Communication Director Anthony Saramucci. Scaramucci also said if Russia [...]

Scaramucci also said that if Russia actually hacked the US Democratic Party National Committee's server and the correspondence of Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters, it would have been impossible and they would have no chance to see anything about the matter.

Somebody told me yesterday, but I won't tell you who it is, if the Russians had actually made a mistake in this case pouring out messages on those emails, you'd never have seen it. You would never have any evidence regarding this case”, he said.

Referring to new anti-Russian sanctions, Saramouch said President Trump “has not yet made the decision to sign that bill in one way or another”.

In an interview for “Fox News” last week, Saramucci signalled the White House's readiness to resolve the situation around Russia, which allegedly intervened in the US elections last year.

“We must confidently give up these things, I think the situation on the Russian issue is past”, he said.

The resolution of the situation about Russian-American relations is also expected in Europe, where many are dissatisfied with Washington's perspective by incorping new anti-Russian sanctions.

Juncker urged Brussels to be willing to “will develop” within days if Washington will pass sanctions against Russia “in light of EU concerns”.

“Sanctions are more effective when they are coordinated. At the moment, our sanctions regimes are co-ordinated, because their efficiency is high and we have the opportunity to control them to avoid surprises, cope with possible negative effects on our economic goals, and we will jointly make balanced decisions. The unilateral measures will destroy all of this”, the European Union's statement said./Periscopi/
