In-town pool report #5: Lutnick clarification on sanctions

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick clarified whether Trump meant to say “secondary sanctions” instead of “secondary tariffs” during his earlier announcement on Russia.

“So it's economic sanction, not a sanction,” he told reporters gathered in the State Dining Room. “You can also make an economic penalty: if I catch doing it, then you'll have to pay.”

“You can do tariffs or you can do sanctions, those are both tools in his toolbox.”
