Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has said new sanctions imposed by the US are tantamount to declaring a "full-scale trade war" against Moscow.
He said the measures, signed by Donald Trump, demonstrated the complete impotence of the US president, who he said had been humiliated by Congress.
The law aims to punish Russia for its alleged meddling in the 2016 US elections and its actions in Ukraine.
Mr Trump accused Congress of overreach on the legislation.
In signing the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act on Wednesday, he attached a statement calling the measure "deeply flawed".
The legislation limits the amount of money Americans can invest in Russian energy projects, and makes it more difficult for US companies to do business with Russia.

Iran said the new sanctions violated the nuclear deal and it would respond in an "appropriate and proportional" manner, reports the semi-official Isna news agency.

Writing on his Facebook page on Wednesday, Mr Medvedev said the sanctions package "ends hopes for improving our relations with the new US administration.
"The sanctions regime has been codified and will remain in effect for decades unless a miracle happens."

If it seems like European football leagues are jumping on the bandwagon, one should remember that the Bundesliga was the trendsetter. Chinese football fanatics have been able to watch Germany's top league on China Central Television (CCTV) since 1995, and its only competition at the time were Italy's Serie A and the NBA. "Players from the league were well known to Chinese football fans," Liu Siyua...
Stoke manager Mark Hughes has been fined £8,000 by the Football Association after being sent off during his side's loss at home to Tottenham. Hughes was sent to the stand for reacting angrily during the 4-0 defeat on the 10 September, and later charged with improper conduct. He later said he would not contest the charge as it would cost money he would prefer to give to his grandchildren. The 52-year-old said the FA charge "rubbed salt into the wounds". The Welshman had reacted angrily after Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic was booked for diving. The club, who are currently bottom of the Premier League, have said they want to speak to the FA about a "potentially inconsistent approach" from match officials following the charge against Hughes.
