Advisers to the president-elect are working on a large-scale sanctions strategy. In addition to pressure on the Kremlin, the sanctions will also have to affect the policies of Iran and Venezuela, the agency’s sources claim.
Recall, last Friday the Biden administration has already imposed large-scale sanctions on the Russian oil trade.
At the moment, the Trump team is considering two main approaches. In the event that a speedy settlement of the Ukrainian conflict seems possible, the White House will allow concessions with respect to sanctioned Russian oil companies. Otherwise, sanctions will be strengthened.
As Bloomberg notes, the final decision on sanctions will depend entirely on Trump himself.
