Trump halts sanctions and tariffs on Russia
U.S. President Donald Trump has suspended the implementation of the tariffs and sanctions imposed on Russia under an executive order, just two days before they were to take effect. He affirmed that this measure serves American national interests. This suspension remains in place until Trump or the Secretary of State decides otherwise, without affecting the previous sanctions. The move comes after Trump recently announced an agreement to supply Russian diesel in an effort to lower energy prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections in November. The sanctions previously aimed to increase tariffs by 500% on Russian goods, impose charges on Russian oil and gas, and target Russian officials and financial and energy institutions.
