MOSCOW (AP) — Some of Russia's richest and most influential people were hit with sanctions Friday by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

In total, 24 Russian officials and tycoons face new restrictions while a dozen companies were targeted as Washington stepped up its condemnation of Russia's actions in recent years, including its 2014 annexation of Crimea, support for Syrian President Bashar Assad, hacking attacks and meddling in Western elections.
