President Donald Trump has halted the implementation of new Russian sanctions, just one day after United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley said that new sanctions were coming. Haley said on CBS's "Face The Nation" on Sunday that more Russian sanctions would be coming on Monday to equipment companies connected with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's alleged chemical weapons attack.
The newest economic sanctions against Russia were under serious consideration, but had yet to receive final approval from the president. Trump is unlikely to approve additional sanctions against Russia until another triggering event by the Russians.
Reports of Trump's disagreement with Haley over new sanctions against Russia come amid a growing number of battles between the president and his administration over policy toward Putin and the Russians.
Members of Trump's administration have looked to push a more hawkish stance toward Russia, but Trump reportedly remains unconvinced and has told advisers he favors a more cooperative approach toward the Russian government.
Trump reportedly lashed out at aides after the US expelled 60 Russian diplomats last month, and he is also said to have told aides not to speak publicly about tough measures against Russia that he approves because he does not want to upset Putin.
in related news, Putin has halted the distribution of russian videos.

Wouldnt it be worse if he wanted to upset the second most armed country in the world?

More than likely this was a prearranged agreement for allowing the Syrian strike

by that reasoning we can arrest all white people. or asians, or political dissidents. fucking anyone since american prison is a for profit system and arresting anyone would "save money". know what else would save money since you're so concerned? importing tons of cheap immigrants to push wages down

Who gives a shit? Russia isn't going to do a thing, they're all bark and no bite.

Probably just ran out of things to put sanctions on. It's not like Russia has much to offer the world and they've already slapped like a dozen sanctions on that country.

almost like he's either an asspuppet or a senile old fuck with no clue wtf he's doing
Sadly I think this is kinda brilliant, they all know what is going on, but they also know that voters are goldfish brained and will forget everything in a year or two.
The plan is to muddy the waters as much as possible, feign ignorance when it melts down and then in 2020 pretend it was all Trump's fault and they were innocent bystanders. They know it works, hell by 2012 they had voters blaming Obama for the recession and TARP. Unless Fox news and the rest of the propaganda systems get shut down this is nothing more than a temporary setback.
We all know Trump flat out isn't capable of masterminding all this, he's just a figurehead, and pretty soon he will be just a fall guy.

And btw Russia isn't the only country which bans the cultivation of GMO crops, but you can't know that of course.
