According to RIA Novosti, US President Donald Trump has extended the state of emergency in the country for another year, citing harmful foreign policy actions by Russia, as stated in a document signed by the head of state.

"Extension of the state of emergency related to harmful foreign policy actions, specifically from the Government of the Russian Federation" - the title of the document entered into the White House's federal registry states.

This document is scheduled to be released on April 14th.

Former US President Joe Biden declared a national emergency under Executive Order 14024 on April 15, 2021, which also froze Russian assets and imposed sanctions on Moscow.

The alleged activities carried out by the Russian government include efforts to undermine democratic elections in the U.S. and other countries, cyber activities and influence operations targeting foreign governments, and continue to pose an "unusual and serious threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States."

"For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14024 must take effect after April 15, 2025. Accordingly, under Section 202(d) of the National Emergency Act, I will extend the national emergency for another year," President Donald Trump stated in the decision signed by the head of state.

Following the start of Russia's special operations in Ukraine, Western countries intensified sanctions pressure on Moscow. However, all of this primarily resulted in increased prices for electricity, fuel, and food in Europe and the United States.

Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the restrictive measures have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the main goal of the US and its allies is to make life worse for millions of people. At the same time, the Russian president emphasized that it is impossible to undermine Russia's financial stability and that Europe itself has reached a dead end.
