Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was very critical about President Trump signing the Russia sanctions bill earlier today, saying that the signature proved his administration was “utterly powerless.”
Trump expressed major concerns about the sanctions in his signing statement, and has been critical of the bill early on. After it passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate, Trump signed it, however, appearing afraid of a veto override vote, and of the controversy that resisting the Russia sanctions bill would bring.
Medvedev said the signing of the bill ended hopes that the US and Russia would see improved relations under President Trump, adding that the bill was tantamount to starting a “full-scale trade war” between the two nations.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry also issued a statement condemning the US move as “short-sighted,” saying it risked worsening harming global security by moving aggressively on new sanctions against Russia.

Russian PM: “The U.S. Just Declared Full-Scale Trade War On Russia”
Several hours after President Trump officially signed the new Russian sanctions into law – despite his reservations and his statement that while he favors “tough measures to punish and deter aggressive and destabilizing behavior by Iran, North Korea, and Russia, this legislation is significantly flawed” – Russia responded when moments ago Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on his FaceBook page that any hopes of improving Russian relations with the new US administration are dead, that the Trump administration demonstrated complete impotence by transferring executive power to Congress “in the most humiliating manner”, and most notably, that the US just declared a full-scale trade war on Russia.
From Medvedev’s facebook page:
The signing of new sanctions against Russia into law by the US president leads to several consequences.
First, any hope of improving our relations with the new US administration is over.
Second, the US just declared a full-scale trade war on Russia. Third, the Trump administration demonstrated it is utterly powerless, and in the most humiliating manner transferred executive powers to Congress. This shifts the alignment of forces in US political circles.
What does this mean for the U.S.? The American establishment
completely outplayed Trump. The president is not happy with the new
sanctions, but he could not avoid signing the new law. The purpose of the new sanctions was to put Trump in his place. Their ultimate goal is to remove Trump from power. An incompetent player must be eliminated. At the same time, the interests of American businesses were almost ignored. Politics rose above the pragmatic approach. Anti-Russian hysteria has turned into a key part of not only foreign (as has been the case many times), but also domestic US policy (this is recent).
The sanctions codified into law will now last for decades, unless
some miracle occurs. Moreover, it will be tougher than the Jackson-Vanik
law, because it is comprehensive and can not be postponed by special
orders of the president without the consent of the Congress. Therefore,
the future relationship between the Russian Federation and the United
States will be extremely tense, regardless of the composition of the
Congress or the personality of the president. Relations between
the two countries will now be clarified in international bodies and
courts of justice leading to further intensification of international
tensions, and a refusal to resolve major international problems.
What does this mean for Russia? We will continue to work on the
development of the economy and social sphere, we will deal with import
substitution, solve the most important state tasks, counting primarily
on ourselves. We have learned to do this in recent years. Within almost
closed financial markets, foreign creditors and investors will be afraid
to invest in Russia due to worries of sanctions against third parties
and countries. In some ways, it will benefit us, although sanctions – in
general – are meaningless. We will manage.
Interesting analysis from Medvedev. But one obvious contradiction: sanctions cannot be “meaningless” and yet be at the same time devastating in their effects wit a “full-scale trade war”, destroying potential improvements in the relationship and a serious attempt to isolate and dispose of Trump. Those are all meaningful and intended consequences! They might not mean any economical downturn ultimately but it does force Russian Federation e.g to spend more time & energy away from Europe to make sure it doesn’t.
It was insightful of Trump’s political dynamic for the Russian PM to characterize this as a challenge to Trump’s ego.
