TRUMP SUSPENDS NEW RUSSIA SANCTIONS, CITING U.S. NATIONAL INTEREST: President Trump signed an executive order Friday putting sweeping new sanctions against Russia on hold, just weeks after signing the bipartisan legislation into law. The measures were designed to pressure Moscow over its war in Ukraine, targeting Russian banks, officials, oil shipments, and countries purchasing Russian energy, with tariffs of up to 100%. Trump said the waiver serves U.S. national interests but offered no detailed public explanation. The decision follows his recent agreement to purchase Russian diesel to help lower global energy prices and has drawn criticism from lawmakers in both parties.
