  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has yet to announce his final decision on waiving sanctions and tariffs related to Russian exports, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump waived these measures a day earlier, citing pressure from lawmakers seeking to pressure Russia over its war in Ukraine. Rubio stated that Trump will use up to 60 days to assess the economic impact of these sanctions and tariffs before making a final decision. The waiver comes just weeks before the November midterm elections and amid high energy prices due to the war with Iran disrupting global oil supplies. The decision has drawn criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who warned it could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin and prolong the war.",
