Trump lifts sanctions on Russian-linked goods

di.se (Swedish) —

US President Donald Trump has lifted certain sanctions on goods linked to Russia, according to a presidential order published by the White House on Friday. The decision halts measures that were set to take effect within days. The order suspends sanctions, restrictions, and tariffs tied to a legislative package signed by Trump on September 18, which included tariffs of up to 100 percent on goods from the five largest importers of Russian oil or gas. Trump stated the move serves US national interests. The package was championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The lifting of these measures marks a significant shift in US policy toward Russia-related trade restrictions.
