Rubio explains Trump's Russia sanctions waiver: Weighing pros and cons

pravda.com.ua (Ukrainian) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump signed a waiver of sanctions against Russia under the "Graham law" to analyze their potential impact on US and global economies over 60 days. Rubio explained the sanctions included tariffs on countries like India, not just Russia, and the administration needs time to weigh consequences for world energy markets amid conflicts in the Gulf, Houthi attacks, and the Russia-Ukraine war. He rejected claims the move was a gift to Putin, noting Russian diesel would reach markets regardless, and cited a previous 60-day exemption for Russian oil during Strait of Hormuz tensions.
