Kremlin does not know whether info on decree prepared by Trump to lift sanctions from Russia is true

MOSCOW. Jan 27 (Interfax) - The Kremlin does not know to what extent media reports that U.S. President Donald Trump has prepared a document to lift anti-Russian sanctions are true, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"No, we know nothing about it, and, as far as I understand, this information is anonymous, and I do not know to what extent it is true," he told reporters when commenting on the relevant media reports.

Politico magazine journalist Susan Glasser said earlier that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump was probably preparing to unilaterally lift the sanctions imposed on Russia.

Atlantic Council analytical center senior fellow Fabrice Pothier provided the same information on his Twitter account.
