President Donald Trump signed an executive order waiving new U.S. sanctions against Russia that had been passed by Congress. The New York Times described the move as economic relief offered to Russian President Vladimir Putin in hopes that Russia would reciprocate.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged support for the sanctions and accused Trump of “rewarding Putin,” according to AP and NBC News. The waiver also drew criticism from lawmakers in both parties, including some Republicans, multiple outlets reported.
