Trump pauses new Russia sanctions passed by Congress amid Ukraine row
Original: Trump pauses new Russia sanctions passed by Congress amid deepening row with Ukraine
President Trump has waived sanctions on Russia that Congress passed last month, delaying restrictions he signed into law that had been championed by the late senator Lindsey Graham. The pause comes as tensions deepen between Washington and Kyiv, with critics saying it signals a softening of US pressure on Moscow just as relations with Ukraine deteriorate.
Why now: The timing of the waiver during a worsening rift with Ukraine raises questions about Trump's policy toward Russia.
