The United States has repeatedly condemned the actions taken on December 19 and the continuing suppression of political and human rights in Belarus.

It is hard to escape that conclusion. And therefore, if they have political prisoners, one of the things we will do is reimpose those sanctions.

I don't think that's a habit the United States should want to develop.
