Properties To Be Seized
Properties in Russia mentioned for seizure are a Moscow dacha compound and a U.S. diplomatic warehouse also located in Moscow.
America has already seized a Russian Diplomatic compound in New York and the other in Maryland. During that time the U.S sent home many Russian Diplomats.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has a lot to say about the sanctions. The Ministry stated that “hiding behind its ‘exceptionalism’, the United States arrogantly ignores the positions and interests of other Countries.”
Another statement also talked about “the extreme aggression of the United States in international affairs.”
The United States has Diplomats in consulates in St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok. 300 U.S workers are believed to work in the main Embassy in Moscow.
Trump and Putin met for the first time at the G20 Summit held in Germany. They both claimed the meeting was productive. But now with new sanctions, Russian Authorities are angry with the American Politicians.
The Russian Government also said “under the absolutely invented pretext of Russian interference in its domestic affairs, the United States is aggressively pushing forward, one after another, crude anti-Russian actions. This all runs counter to the principles of international law.”
“The adoption of the new sanctions law showed clearly that relations with Russia have become hostage to a domestic political battle in the United States,” the Foreign Ministry said.
The U.S. Embassy said the ambassador had expressed his “strong disappointment and protest.”
