Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) discussed the new U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace. (Photo: Screen grab) (CNSNews.com) - The Trump administration last week imposed sanctions on Russia for its attempts to influence the 2016 election, months after Congress directed the president to do so. Chris Wallace, host of "Fox News Sunday," asked Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) if the president has been tough enough on Russian President Vladimir Putin. "I think he's done a hell of a lot better job than President Obama did," Gowdy said. It wasn't Donald Trump who laughed when that Romney said Russia was our number one geopolitical enemy. It wasn't President Trump who handed that awkward reset button to the Russians. And it wasn't President Trump who said on a hot mike, I'll have more flexibility in the second term. All of that was President Obama. So, this country can't be tough enough on Russia. They tried to interfere with the fundamentals of our democracy. I mean, their war is not against Democrats or Republicans, it's against Americans. So, you cannot be tough enough against Russia. In my judgment, I hope he does more, but he did a hell of a lot more than his predecessor did. The Trump administration last Thursday imposed sanctions on five more Russian entities and 19 additional Russian individuals for "malicious" cyber activity, including interference in U.S. elections and "destructive cyber-attacks" targeting "critical infrastructure." “These targeted sanctions are a part of a broader effort to address the ongoing nefarious attacks emanating from Russia," said Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. video at Original Article
