President Trump on Monday put the brakes on a preliminary plan to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia, walking back a Sunday announcement by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley that the Kremlin had swiftly denounced as “international economic raiding.”
Preparations to punish Russia anew for its support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government over the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria caused consternation at the White House. Haley had said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” that sanctions on Russian companies behind the equipment related to Assad’s alleged chemical weapons attack would be announced Monday by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
But Trump conferred with his national security advisers later Sunday and told them he was upset the sanctions were being officially rolled out because he was not yet comfortable executing them, according to several people familiar with the plan.

You got That right!
Is it possible that they can’t pin that staged chemical attack on Assad?
This woman cannot be trusted. She has a tendency to see herself as the boss.
I’m sure THIS is Trump’s solid, unchanging position.
More evidence of the Kabuki Dance :-)
Trust Trump...Trust The Plan
People need to always be prepared for “changes” with Trumps approach on pretty much anything...until the dust begins to settle....He seems to settle just where he needs to be when it clears. “Trump Affect” says it well.
Besides we have to give the man ‘room’ for the leverage he’s seeking...it might look unsettling to us but he knows what he has to kick up in order to get the leverage he wants.
Is this good cop bad cop too? Get real, Trump has had to clip the wings of more than a few people who got a little drunk on power.
The very fact Trump doesn’t operate with the consistency most want is why people are too quick to react who are accustomed to “calm” working environments. Washington is NOT one of those places and neither is the World Stage today!
I trust Trump, but I also feel while Q is probably an okay thing, a person still has to look through their own eyes and pay attention to happenings alongside of their interest in Q.
You own thoughts matter.
” Trump has had to clip the wings of more than a few people who got a little drunk on power.”
Exactly.
If we see Haley as a blossoming show boat, we can be certain that Trump noticed. Haley packed to head out from the building to straight for the Sunday show camera. Mistake.
Excellent! We don’t need another cold war!
No one wants to bet their right arm on much of anything, while in the midst of a cyber war that can now make a lie look real and to parade as truth. In reverse, cyber war can make the truth and reality be perceived as a lie.
Perception is more deceptive than ever before. We are relegated to *choose* our truth from a bushel basket of contenders. We are the pawns to what ever the majority pull out. Pretty scary.
He amazes me, and occasionally makes me nervous, but I love him be our President.
be=being.
Autocorrect is driving me crazy today.
Pence tried to hire Never Trumper as his aide. Never Trumper was an aide to Never Trumper Haley. Trump found out,. Never Trumper lasted all of two days. I will never understand why Trump made Never Trumper, Jeb supporting Haley the UN ambassador,
Maybe!
I am not in the WH planning sessions and neither are you!
Ms. Haley has been loyal to President Trump so far and standing strong for U.S. authority. In this case, President Trump decided to ease back from a previous position. I can’t see her being in the wrong here, but who knows, I could be wrong too.
I’m glad for his decision regardless.
Oh okay.
it’s possible that Trump/Marcon/May cut a secret deal with Putin regarding their attacks on Assad’s poison gas facilities ... do notice how the bellicosity was ratcheted down from all sides even though the attacks did take place ...
Wouldn’t surprise me if Haley wasn’t in the loop and was bellowing on her own initiative.
Good! Even better, Roll back all sanctions against Russia!!!!
And fire the Third-World interloper Nikki Haley!! She proved exactly what she is by her anti-Confederate actions in South Carolina, even before she was sent to the UN!!!!
