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 new sanctions on Russia that Congress passed last month, delaying restrictions that were due to take effect. The legislation, championed by the late senator Lindsey Graham, was signed by Trump but has now been paused. The decision comes as tensions between Washington and Kyiv deepen, drawing criticism from those who see it as a softening of pressure on Moscow.
Why now: The waiver signals a possible shift in US policy toward Russia at a moment of friction with Ukraine, raising questions about Trump's commitment to congressional sanctions.
