Washington, 17 Oct. (LaPresse) – US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order suspending a new and wide-ranging package of sanctions against the Russian economy, stating to Congress that the suspension is in the national interest. The measure, named after the late South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, was aimed at more swiftly cutting off the flow of financial resources fuelling the war against Ukraine. The decision comes a week after Trump surprisingly stated that the United States had agreed to buy diesel from Russia in an attempt to lower global energy prices, despite the fact that this could harm Ukraine in its war with Russia.
