Trump slaps new sanctions on 15 Russian agents, firms for election meddling and ‘malign’ activities
(Worthy News) – The Treasury Department imposed fresh sanctions Wednesday against 15 Russian agents and companies for interfering in the U.S. presidential election in 2016 and carrying out a nerve-agent attack in England.
