Trump weighs Russia sanctions for up to 60 days after waiver

President Donald Trump has waived sanctions and tariffs on Russian exports, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying the administration will take up to 60 days to evaluate the economic impact before a final decision. The waiver comes weeks before November's midterm elections amid high energy prices. Trump signed an executive order on Friday pausing measures under the Graham Act, which included tariffs on Russian goods and penalties on countries buying Russian oil and gas. Rubio said the review period will analyze effects on the global and US economies, with India cited as a key partner dependent on Russian oil. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy criticized the waiver, warning it would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin. Senator Darline Graham disagreed with the decision, saying she prefers keeping pressure on Russia. Rubio also defended a separate US-Russia diesel supply agreement to ease fuel prices.
