Donald Trump $TRUMP blocked the introduction of key restrictive measures from the “Lindsey O. Graham Act to Impose Sanctions on Russia and Iran of 2026.”
The corresponding White House order was published on Friday, October 16, 2026. Acting within the statutory deadline of October 18, Trump exercised his presidential authority to grant a sanctions waiver in the national interests of the United States.

Key details of the decision:

• Tariffs on goods from Russia: Trump suspended the automatic imposition of 500% tariffs on imports of Russian products.
• Secondary sanctions on energy: The introduction of tariffs of up to 100% on the top five largest global buyers of Russian oil and gas (including India, China, and Turkey) has been put on hold.
• Duration: The restrictions are paused until the president and the U.S. secretary of state, together with the Treasury Department, deem their implementation appropriate.
• Previous sanctions: The White House order does not lift restrictions on Russia adopted before the Graham Act was signed; they remain in force.
