Biden says he's considering additional sanctions on Russia over Alexey Navalny's death

Washington — President Biden said Monday he is weighing additional sanctions against Russia over the death of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny. 

"We already have sanctions, but we are considering additional sanctions, yes," Mr. Biden told reporters as he returned to the White House from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. 

On Friday, Mr. Biden blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for Navalny's death, saying the U.S. wasn't sure what exactly happened, but that it was "a consequence of something that Putin and his thugs did."
