US sanctions Assad’s wife, dozens of others

The United States imposes sanctions on Syrian President Bashar Assad’s wife and dozens of others as it vows a vast pressure campaign under a new law.

“We anticipate many more sanctions and we will not stop until Assad and his regime stop their needless, brutal war against the Syrian people,” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says in a statement.
