Washington (United States) (AFP) – The United States will impose new sanctions on Russia over its Syrian ally’s alleged chemical attack, targeting companies that supplied the regime in Damascus, US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Sunday.

“You will see that Russian sanctions will be coming down. Secretary (Steve) Mnuchin will be announcing those on Monday, if he hasn’t already,” Haley said in an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
