Sources: The United States is ready to impose new sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, but Trump's intentions are unclear

U.S. officials have finalized new economic sanctions against Russia, including banking and energy measures, to increase pressure on Moscow to accept U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine, according to three U.S. officials and a person familiar with the matter. An administration official said the targets of the sanctions include Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom, as well as major entities involved in natural resources and the banking industry. However, it is unclear whether Trump will approve the package. The National Security Council "is trying to coordinate some of the more punitive actions against Russia," the person said. "But this has to be signed by Trump." Another U.S. official also confirmed, "It's entirely his (Trump's) decision."
