👈 Trump, the President of the United States, waived key U.S. sanctions and tariffs against Russia, including penalties related to the purchase of Russian oil and gas. The move came days before the sanctions were set to take effect under a law he signed last month.

These measures set tariffs of up to 100% on imported goods from countries that are major buyers of Russian energy.

In an executive order issued on Friday, Trump said that this exemption serves the national interests of the United States.
