“If the US plans to introduce new sanctions related to Russian chemical agents, I have many questions, starting with the circumstances of the case. I am a lawyer and therefore focus on the fact that the allegations need to be proven. I do not believe this,” Weil said.
He stressed that "we need to do the opposite: we don't need more sanctions, we need more cooperation, more dialogue".
US economy suffers damage from new sanctions against Russia
Washington's new sanctions against Moscow will hit the US economy, forcing many American companies to leave Russia or stop working with Russia, according to The Hill.
