Trump’s Treasury Drops Sanctions on Putin Henchmen

The Trump administration dropped economic sanctions against two foreign executives tied to the Russian government and its war in Ukraine.

The Department of the Treasury‘s Office of Foreign Assets Control on Friday announced that it was removing sanction designations it had placed on Vladimir Dmitriev and Frederic Pierre Villa. The treasury previously blocked the assets of both, who have profited from the Kremlin’s military machine.
