Putin Envoy Hails Trump Move Waiving Russia Sanctions

Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev called the US suspension of the Graham Act a historic moment after Donald Trump signed an executive order waiving key sanctions and tariffs.

The waiver was issued under a national interest clause following a deal with Vladimir Putin for Russia to supply diesel to global markets, beginning with 300,000 tons.

The decision has drawn bipartisan criticism in Washington from lawmakers who argue it aids Russia's war effort without noticeably easing fuel prices.
