Rubio says Trump to take up to 60 days to weigh Russia sanctions

US President Donald Trump has waived sanctions and tariffs related to Russian exports, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicating a 60-day period to assess their economic impact on the global and US economies. The measures, which included tariffs on Russian goods and penalties on countries buying Russian oil and gas, were due to take effect next week under the Graham Act. The decision has drawn criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who warned it would embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin and prolong the war. The waiver comes amid pressure on Trump over high energy prices, exacerbated by a war with Iran disrupting global oil supplies.
