Trump freezes new Russia sanctions package

news247.gr (Greek) —

President Trump has signed an executive order suspending a new sanctions package against Russia, citing US national interests. The move halts measures designed to restrict Russian revenue. The sanctions package, initiated by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, aimed to cut funding for Russia's war operations. The suspension follows a US-Russia agreement to purchase Russian diesel and may impact Ukraine's war effort. The White House linked the decision to efforts to stabilize international energy prices. However, the order does not specify the scope of sanctions affected or the duration of the suspension, raising questions about its implications.
