White House does not rule out future sanctions on Russia's Putin
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration does not rule out any Russian officials as possible future targets for US sanctions over the Ukraine crisis, a White House spokesman said on Monday when asked whether Russian President Vladimir Putin could later be subject to punitive measures.
"The authority exists to apply sanctions to a variety of individuals and entities," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters. "We're not going to rule out individuals or rule out actions." (Reuters)
