Trump waives key Russia-related sanctions, tariffs before they take effect under new law
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported35m ago
President Donald Trump issued an executive order late Friday waiving new sanctions and tariffs on Russia that were scheduled to take effect under a law he signed last month. The measures included duties on Russian goods and penalties related to the purchase of the country's oil and gas.
The administration justified the decision by citing the "national interests" of the United States. The move occurs despite bipartisan calls for increased pressure on Russia, marking a departure from the legislative intent of the recently enacted Graham Act.
