The Trump administration appeared to loosen U.S. sanctions Thursday that the Obama administration had imposed against Russia in response to its cyberattacks in the 2016 presidential election.

The Treasury Department published a license that authorizes certain transactions between U.S. companies and the FSB, Russia’s security service and for the importation, distribution or use of “certain information technology products in the Russian Federation.” Such transactions had been prohibited under Obama administration sanctions imposed on Russia in late December. At the time, the U.S. sanctioned nine entities and individuals including the FSB and GRU. The Obama administration said that the FSB had assisted and provided material support to the GRU in its efforts to interfere with the U.S. election.

The White House will decide in "the months ahead" whether to remove sanctions against Russia in exchange for coordinating efforts against ISIS in the Middle East, Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday.

"If we have opportunities to work together, I think the President is looking for an opportunity to begin that relationship anew," Pence said on ABC's "This Week." "But, make no mistake about it, those decisions will await action. And they'll be very dependent on how the Russians respond in the days ahead."

When asked directly about whether sanctions against Russia — with whom Trump has been accused of cultivating a cozy relationship — would remain in place "as long as Russia is violating the ceasefire in Ukraine," Pence replied that it "was a question that will be answered in the months ahead."

The Treasury Department announced it would allow U.S. companies to make limited transactions with Russia's intelligence service, FSB, that are needed to gain approval to import information technology products into Russia. The White House has disputed the notion that the move was "easing" sanctions and has downplayed the change.
