  "account": "US President Donald Trump has put on hold a package of sanctions against Russia, just a month after signing it into law. The sanctions, which included tariffs, were set to take effect but Trump has delayed them, citing national interest. The law, which aims to pressure Russia over its actions in Ukraine, was passed with bipartisan support in Congress and was named after Senator Lindsey Graham. Trump's decision comes as he faces elections in two weeks and has been trying to lower high fuel prices, having recently agreed a deal with Russia to supply diesel. The move has been criticised by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Selenskyj, who feels betrayed by Trump's actions.",
  "summary": "The US Congress wanted to put pressure on aggressor Russia in the Ukraine war with far-reaching sanctions. US President Trump likely sees it differently.",
