Trump: Lifting Russia Sanctions Is 'Very Good' for the World
US President Donald Trump praised his decision to lift sanctions against Russia as "a very good decision" for the world, saying it benefits both the United States and the global community. He made the remarks to journalists without providing further details. Trump signed an executive order allowing most new sanctions against Russia to be waived, a move that could increase Moscow's financial capabilities and raise doubts about Washington's continued support for Ukraine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the waiver will last 60 days to assess economic impacts. During the same press interaction, Trump commented on the war with Iran, calling it "successful," and claimed the US had transformed from being "dead" to the "most dynamic country in the world." Kremlin representative Kirill Dmitriev called the sanctions waiver an "historic moment."
