Trump Signs Order Waiving New Russia Sanctions
President Trump has signed an order waiving new sanctions on Russia. The sanctions had been part of a measure named after Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who died in July. The move is drawing attention for its implications for US policy toward Moscow and for Congress's role in shaping sanctions legislation.
Why now: People are reacting to the president overriding Congressionally backed sanctions on Russia, a sensitive foreign policy issue.
