US President Donald Trump has extended the sanctions imposed by Biden against Russia in 2021.

Source: a document of the US Federal Register.

Details: Trump has extended Biden's executive orders, which imposed a state of emergency on Russia and allowed sanctions against Russia for another year.

"Specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the Russian Federation... continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency… must continue in effect beyond 15 April 2025," the notice says.

The document mentions that Russia continues to pose a threat to free elections and democratic institutions in the United States and its allies.

It also mentions participation in and assistance with cyberattacks against the United States, the promotion and use of transnational corruption to influence foreign governments, activities against dissidents or journalists, undermining security in countries and regions critical to US national security, and violations of established international law principles, such as respect for state territorial integrity.

On 15 April 2021, Biden declared a state of emergency under Executive Order 14024 to address the threat posed by the Russian government's malicious activities.

On 8 March 2022, Biden issued Executive Order 14066, which expanded the scope of the state of emergency, followed by several more executive orders expanding sanctions against Russia.

This is bigger than it’s being made to appear. A year. Putins reserves are continuing to drain. He needs to be brought to heel. Bleed the bastard.

Wow! So Biden did something right! Can’t believe he is admitting that.
