Bessent says 'substantial pickup in Russia sanctions' coming
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday the Trump administration was poised to announce "a substantial pickup in Russia sanctions" amid stalled efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
"We are going to, either announce after the close this afternoon or first thing tomorrow morning, a substantial pickup in Russia sanctions," Bessent told reporters at the White House.
Bessent did not provide details on what the sanctions would entail.
