If his latest remarks are anything to go by, President Donald Trump’s loss of patience with the Kremlin appears to be gathering pace.

The Kremlin said on Wednesday it continues to monitor statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding sanctions against Moscow, but that Russia had acquired immunity to such measures thanks to long experience.

Adding to the dialogue, Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson from the Russian Foreign Ministry, described the routine nature of these threats. She stated that they saw the West as unable to put aside the issue of sanctions, suggesting that Western strategies might ultimately be redundant and self-harming, as captured by Capital.
