Trump Shocks Kremlin: Extends Biden's Russia Sanctions, Warns New Punishment if No Ceasefire by...

U.S. President Donald Trump has officially extended sanctions against Russia, originally imposed by former President Joe Biden in April 2021. The decision, announced via the U.S. Federal Register on April 10, reaffirms the national emergency over Russia's cyber operations, election interference, and continued threats to international peace. Despite White House calls for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, no major new sanctions have been introduced—yet. However, sources suggest that if a ceasefire isn't reached by the end of April, the Trump administration may escalate punitive measures. The Kremlin has denounced the sanctions as politically motivated, while Washington insists Russia’s actions continue to pose a serious national security threat. #Trump #RussiaSanctions #UkraineWar #Biden #Geopolitics #USPolitics #Kremlin #Putin #Zelensky #ForeignPolicy #Ceasefire #NationalSecurity #BreakingNews #WhiteHouse #RussiaUkraineConflict #Sanctions Also Read BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Claims Over 400 Hindus Have Fled Murshidabad; Blames TMC’s 'Appeasement Politics' :: https://www.oneindia.com/kolkata/bjps-suvendu-adhikari-claims-over-400-hindus-have-fled-murshidabad-blames-tmc-s-appeasement-polit-4122745.html?ref=DMDesc Yusuf Pathan Stirs Row With 'Good Chai' Post Amid Bengal Violence, Gives Fresh Ammo To BJP: 'This Is TMC' :: https://www.oneindia.com/kolkata/yusuf-pathan-stirs-row-with-good-chai-post-amid-bengal-violence-gives-fresh-ammo-to-bjp-this-is-4122635.html?ref=DMDesc AAP Accuses Delhi CM Rekha Gupta’s Husband Of Running Govt Behind the Scenes After Pics Go Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/aap-accuses-delhi-cm-rekha-gupta-s-husband-of-running-govt-behind-the-scenes-after-pics-go-viral-4122555.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.336~GR.124~
