US State Department won't rule out designating Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, Blinken says

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the State Department would not rule out designating Russia a state sponsor of terrorism for its accused atrocities in Ukraine.

In an angry line of questioning at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on China Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham asked Blinken: “You’re never going to designate Russian state sponsored terrorism, are you?”

Blinken quickly responded, “never say never.”

Blinken later in the hearing highlighted the sanctions that the US has put on Russia.
