President Trump on Monday put the brakes on a preliminary plan to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia, walking back a Sunday announcement by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley that the Kremlin had swiftly denounced ss international economic raiding.
Trump conferred with his national security advisers later Sunday and told them he was upset the sanctions were being officially rolled out because he was not yet comfortable executing them, according to several people familiar with the plan.
Officially, Haley misspoke. In reality, she obviously did nothing of the sort. So what happened?
Some officials said the misunderstanding could have been the result of Haleys tendency to speak directly with the president, sometimes outside of the normal policy process. Shell usually talk to the president without the rest of the White House and get her remarks cleared directly, said the administration official. Often we dont know about them.
