WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is exempting aviation safety and space exploration technology from new sanctions it has levied against Russia in connection with the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Britain.
The State Department says products related to those sectors will not be automatically subjected to an export ban that was announced by President Donald Trump this week. The ban is part of a package of sanctions imposed on Russia over the March 2018 poisoning of Sergei Skripal, a former Russian military intelligence officer turned double agent for Britain, and his visiting daughter, Yulia.
