Sen. JD Vance of Ohio is on the “blacklist” of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia; his entry into Russia is prohibited.
Another 499 Americans are included in the Russian “blacklist”, among them former U.S. President Barack Obama and former U.S. ambassadors to Russia Jon Huntsman and John Tefft.
According to Politico, Trump’s decision to choose 39-year-old Sen. Vance as his vice presidential candidate has worried U.S. allies, who fear that the U.S. may suspend aid to Ukraine and abandon other transatlantic priorities.
