Trump delays Lindsey Graham's Russia sanctions law

podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order delaying the enactment of the late Senator Lindsey Graham's law on sanctions against Russia, citing US national interests at this stage. The law, set to take effect in days, would have allowed tariffs up to 100% on goods from countries buying Russian energy or helping evade sanctions, plus penalties on Russian officials, oligarchs, banks, and shadow fleet vessels. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a co-author, criticized the move as "pure appeasement" of Vladimir Putin, saying it sides with Russia against Americans and European allies. The bill was introduced in April 2025 and revised after Graham's death on July 14.
