World Alert: Trump administration to impose fresh sanctions against Russia, targeting oligarchs with ties to Putin

The United States is expected to impose the additional sanctions by Friday, according to U.S. officials. The final number of Russians facing punitive action remains fluid, the U.S. officials said, but is expected to include at least a half-dozen people under sanction powers given to the president by Congress. In recent weeks, Trump's national security advisers have pushed for more sanctions after the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy in England, interference in the 2016 U.S. elections and a cyberattack described as the most destructive and costly in history.
