Trump delays Russia sanctions decision for up to 60 days, Rubio says

President Donald Trump has waived sanctions and tariffs on Russian exports, delaying a final decision for up to 60 days while his administration evaluates the economic impact, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The waiver, signed Friday under the Graham Act, postpones measures including tariffs on Russian goods and penalties on countries buying Russian oil and gas that were due to take effect next week. Rubio said the review period will assess effects on the global and US economies, with India cited as a key partner dependent on Russian oil. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy criticized the move, warning it would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin and prolong the war. Senator Darline Graham, whose late brother championed the legislation, said she disagrees with the decision and plans to discuss it with Trump.
