MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The US sanctions against Russia, which are currently being discussed in the United States, are absolutely illegitimate, they do not contribute to the development of trust between Moscow and Washington, Bogdanov said.
"These are absolutely illegitimate actions that do not contribute to the development of mutual understanding and the necessary level of trust between us and the Americans," Bogdanov said after more than three hours of talks with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Jaberi Ansari.
On Monday, Vice President Mike Pence said Trump will soon sign into law the new legislation that enhances US sanctions against Russia. It passed by overwhelming majorities of 419 to 3 in the House of Representatives and by 98 to two in the Senate.
