President Trump signed an executive order exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation, citing national interest. The sanctions were part of a measure named after Senator Lindsey Graham.
President Donald Trump issued an executive order waiving new sanctions against Russia, citing the "national interest" of the United States. This decision effectively exempts Russia from legislation that had been advanced by members of Congress.
The move follows a period of heightened tensions and sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.S. The waiver suggests a potential recalibration of American foreign policy towards Moscow, a departure from the congressional intent behind the sanctions bill.
