President Trump is now considering steps that would unilaterally remove at least some of the sanctions that the United States imposed on Russia in the wake of its 2014 annexation of Crimea. To Russia, this would signal that the United States will let it get away with conquest in its neighborhood, and that violating international law carries no penalty.
Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham can promote sanctions all they want, the Russian economy is resilient. BlackRock says its a buy.
