WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States (click here) is considering sanctions against both Russian and Chinese individuals and companies for cyber attacks against U.S. commercial targets, several U.S. officials said on Monday.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said no final decision had been made on imposing sanctions, which could strain relations with Russia further and, if they came soon, cast a pall over a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September.
The Washington Post first reported the Obama administration was considering sanctioning Chinese targets, possibly within the next few weeks, and said that individuals and firms from other nations could also be targeted. It did not mention Russia....
I have to wonder how much the Donald Trump campaign is providing momentum to changes in USA policy. It certainly has propelled his billionaire peers to aspiration of leadership.
What has taken so long to do something about the hackers of other countries? They should be in prison.
I am not surprised Donald Trump is running. Why aren't the other billionaires running as well? It is silly to realize one man is funding another man in Ted Cruz in a presidential run. Is it that Republicans holding office are less corrupt? It is a very strange paradigm. If they are going to invest in politics and believe money will buy the office why not do it themselves?
