Trump puts new Russia sanctions that he recently signed into law on hold, citing national interest
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported46m ago
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday to delay the implementation of a sweeping new sanctions package targeting the Russian economy. The action comes shortly after the president signed the legislation into law, with the administration citing national interest as the primary justification for the pause.
The decision to withhold the sanctions follows their passage by Congress. By invoking national interest, the executive branch has effectively halted the immediate application of the measures, marking a significant development in the ongoing legislative and executive discourse regarding foreign policy toward Russia.
