Rubio explains Trump's 60-day pause on Russia energy sanctions

podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained President Donald Trump's decision to delay tariffs on countries purchasing Russian energy, citing the need to assess potential global economic consequences. Rubio stated the 60-day delay allows analysis of sanctions' impact on the US and world economy, noting India and other nations could be affected. He emphasized India remains a key ally despite its Russian energy imports. Rubio rejected claims the move was a gift to Vladimir Putin, arguing Russia would have sold the fuel regardless. Trump signed the executive order on October 16, postponing the late Senator Lindsey Graham's "hellish sanctions" bill.
