Trump halts new Russia sanctions for national interest
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order suspending a new package of sanctions aimed at the Russian economy, claiming that this decision serves the national interest. The move comes two days before the implementation of sanctions designed to reduce the flow of financial resources supporting Russia's war against Ukraine. The legislation included imposing tariffs of up to 100% on the largest Russian oil and gas imports, with efforts to cut those imports, although it remains unclear how this suspension aligns with the national interest, according to the White House. These measures come at a time when Trump is experiencing declining popular support and escalating political pressures.
