US President Donald Trump has put newly enacted Russia-related sanctions on hold, signing an executive order on October 16 that waives several measures under a law he signed just last month. Trump cited America’s national interest but did not publicly provide a detailed explanation for the decision. The measures included sanctions and potential tariffs targeting Russian energy trade and those facilitating sanctions evasion.
The move has drawn criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who warned that easing pressure on Moscow could encourage further Russian attacks. The decision comes amid tensions over Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and continued Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy facilities.
