President Donald Trump signed an executive order waiving sanctions against Russia that Congress had approved in a package he signed into law less than a month earlier, according to reports from The Washington Post, ABC News and The Hill. The sanctions were associated with the Graham Act.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged support for the sanctions and accused Trump of “rewarding Putin,” NBC News reported. The decision also drew criticism from lawmakers in both parties, including some Republicans.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, said former President Ronald Reagan and the late Sen. Lindsey Graham would be “ashamed” of Trump’s action, according to The Hill. Fox Business reported that the waiver caused senior Republicans to break with the president.
The New York Times characterized the move as an effort by Trump to offer Russian President Vladimir Putin economic relief in hopes that Russia would reciprocate.
