US Considers Second Round of Sanctions Against Russia Over Skripal Case - State Department

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th November, 2018) The United States is actively considering a second, more draconian round of sanctions against Russia over the Skripal case, US Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation Christopher Ford said on Wednesday.

"Under statute... there is a menu of options if you will, things that need to be considered. As part of that, we do not have an inter-agency decision answer on what those pieces are yet. It is under active consideration," Ford said. "The second round of sanctions under the statue is a more draconian menu than the first round."
