US President Trump Imposes New Russia Sanctions by Decree
In mid-September, US President Trump had signed the sanctions law against Russia, now he is suspending it just before it comes into effect. He cites the national interest of the USA as his reason.
US President Donald Trump has suspended sanctions and tariffs against Russia, set to take effect shortly, by decree. The move is in the national interest of the US, the White House said. The measures, part of a law Trump signed in mid-September, included penalties for buying Russian oil and gas and tariffs on Russian goods. The suspension will remain in place until Trump or senior government officials decide further action is needed. The law allows the President to suspend sanctions by informing Congress.
