Mnuchin on Russia Sanctions Being Called Off: ‘We Refined the Strategy After Nikki Haley Made that Announcement’

EXCERPT:

MNUCHIN: "These sanctions are very, very important tools. They’re obviously very powerful tools, as you’ve said. The sanctions that we put out on the oligarchs, the sanctions that we put out on the Russian politicians, those had the necessary impact. We had meetings all last week at the National Security Council with Nikki and I participated in on the overall strategy with Syria. We continue to refine the strategy, so I’m not going to go through the specifics but we refined the strategy after Nikki made that announcement between Sunday and Saturday and Sunday and Monday, we refined the strategy and we will continue to refine the strategy. We’re not afraid to use these tools. We will use these tools, but we’re not going to broadcast to the world our exact thinking on this."
