President-elect Trump’s senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Thursday while the new sanctions the U.S. issued against Russia are “largely symbolic,” they are harsher than those that were imposed during the Cold War.

“I’ve been reading all the news reports about these retaliations, these sanctions put forward by President Obama and his administration,” Conway said on CNN’s “Out Front.” “Some of them seem largely symbolic. The GRU (Russia’s foreign intelligence service) doesn’t really travel here — doesn’t keep its assets here. There’s no indication these allies will follow suit.”
