MOSCOW, Jan 17 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday it does not expect the United States to soften its position on sanctions against Russian oil once President-elect Donald Trump takes office, despite his administration's readiness for dialogue on the Ukraine war.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was commenting on remarks by Trump's choice for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, that he "100%" supports raising sanctions on Russian oil producers if Trump asks him to.
Peskov said Russia could not expect the United States to fundamentally change its stance on sanctions.
