Moscow Says New US Sanctions Would Be Attempt to Hamper Russia-US Cooperation
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russia's Foreign Ministry said Thursday that if the United States imposed new sanctions on Russia over hacking allegations it would be an attempt to disrupt possible cooperation between the two countries.
The Obama administration is expected to announce later on Thursday a series of retaliatory measures against Moscow for allegedly hacking into Democratic Party organizations ahead of the Nov. 8 US presidential election.
The actions are expected to include expanded sanctions and diplomatic measures, US officials have said.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it thought any new sanctions could be reversed by Donald Trump, who will succeed Barack Obama as president in January.
