WASHINGTON, Oct 18 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump is unlikely to impose new sanctions on Russia in the near term, according to reports from POLITICO. The U.S. administration has not issued any signals from the State Department or the departments of Commerce and Treasury regarding the matter. October 18 marks the end of a 30-day period since Trump signed a law targeting Russia with "secondary sanctions," after which he must decide whether to implement them.
