Washington won't lift anti-Russia sanctions following Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, US Department of State spokesperson Mark Toner said on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States has not changed its position with regards to the economic sanctions imposed on Russia, after Donald Trump won the Tuesday’s presidential election, Toner said in a briefing.

"Our stance was they [sanctions] have been and will certainly remain throughout this administration," Toner stated on Wednesday. "With regard to sanctions on Crimea, those remain in place until Russia removes its forces from Crimea and gives this peninsula back to Ukraine."
