Trump seeks 60 days to review Russia sanctions impact: Rubio

hindustantimes.com —

US President Donald Trump wants a 60-day period to analyze the global and US economic impact of imposing sanctions on Russia and tariffs on other countries, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday. Rubio explained the review period addresses waivers granted under the Graham Act, which authorizes punitive tariffs on nations buying Russian oil. He cited pressures on global energy supplies from the Iran war, Houthi attacks, and the Ukraine-Russia conflict as factors to weigh. Rubio noted India, a key US ally, still receives substantial Russian energy despite diversifying its portfolio, and the president needs time to determine the right policy combination.
