The Kremlin said on Wednesday it continued to take into account all statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump, but Russia had acquired immunity to sanctions because it had lived under a huge number of them for a long time.

Trump said on Tuesday that the United States would start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia in 10 days if Moscow showed no progress toward ending its more than three-year-long war in Ukraine.
