Trump Exempts Russia From Graham Law Sanctions and Tariffs

news.obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump has exempted Russia from nearly all sanctions and tariffs mandated by the Lindsey Graham law, which he signed a month ago. Sanctions against Iran remain in place. Trump announced the decision late Friday, submitting official confirmation to Congress before the October 18 deadline. The executive order states the move aligns with US national interests at this stage. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, a co-author of the law, condemned the action as appeasing Vladimir Putin rather than serving US security. He urged Republican colleagues to denounce the step, though no Republican statements have yet emerged.
