On October 16, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an executive order waiving key sanctions and tariffs on Russia that were part of the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, which Trump signed into law in September. The measures were due to take effect on October 18 and include duties of up to 500 percent on Russian imports and up to 100 percent on goods from certain buyers of Russian oil and gas. Trump said in the order that the waiver serves the national interests of the United States, and he certified this to Congress as the law requires. The order came shortly after Trump announced a deal with Russia on diesel. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he had warned the White House about unintended consequences, and a growing number of Republicans have raised concerns about the decision.

What is contested

Where accounts differ

Points the coverage does not agree on, and who says what.

  • The waiver benefits Moscow.

    CBS News reports the sanctions appear to be a benefit for Moscow and that the decision drew bipartisan backlash, and the Financial Times describes it as a reprieve for Putin. Trump’s order says the waiver is in US national interests, and the New York Post and Just the News present it as a national-interest pause.

How each side tells it

Compare views

Every side reports that Trump waived or paused Russia sanctions that Congress passed under the Graham Act, shortly after a Russian diesel deal. The main difference is emphasis: left and center coverage stresses the backlash and the sanctions lost, while right coverage stresses the national-interest justification and the discretion the law gave the president.

  • the left

    12 outlets · 1 opinion

    Left headlines describe the order as exempting Russia from, or pausing, sanctions passed by Congress, and CBS frames it as a decision that appears to benefit Moscow.
