US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the US is preparing new sanctions on Chinese entities that support Russia’s war in Ukraine, and hinted that banks may be in the cross-hairs.
“We think China should stop because we think it is profoundly outside of the bounds of decent conduct by nation states,” Sullivan said Friday at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado. “You can expect to see additional sanctions measures as we watch this picture continue to evolve in the coming weeks.”
