Trump grants Russia sanctions exemption
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order exempting Russia from the sanctions and customs duties that targeted its oil revenues, which were imposed under the Lindsey Graham Act. This came after he reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to resume Russian diesel exports in exchange for the easing of U.S. sanctions on Moscow, despite Ukraine's opposition and its characterization of the agreement as "weak." The original sanctions targeted Russian energy and defense sectors, senior officials, and included efforts to circumvent the sanctions through a "shadow fleet" of oil tankers.
