United States President Donald Trump waived sanctions and tariffs on Russia scheduled to take effect, drawing sharp condemnation from Ukraine's leader. The executive order halts duties on Russian goods and penalties tied to Natural Gas and crude oil purchases. The reversal follows the enactment of the Graham Act in September, which aimed to increase economic pressure stemming from the 2022 invasion.
