Trump to Review Russia Sanctions Suspension for 60 Days, Rubio Says
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump will take up to 60 days to reassess the suspension of sanctions and tariffs on Russia, announced Friday. Trump stated Saturday he has not made a final decision on the matter. The executive order suspended measures under the Graham Law, including tariffs on Russian goods and penalties for countries buying Russian oil and gas, which were set to take effect next week. Rubio said the review period will analyze the economic impact on global and US markets. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the suspension, warning it would strengthen Vladimir Putin and prolong the war. Separately, Rubio defended a US-Russia diesel supply deal aimed at lowering fuel prices, with Energy Secretary Chris Wright calling it an incentive for peace, not an economic lifeline for Russia.
