Rubio says Trump to take up to 60 days to weigh Russia sanctions
Rubio said Trump will use the 60-day pause to assess the impact on global markets and energy prices after waiving key Russia-related penalties.
- On Friday, October 16, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an executive order waiving key provisions of the Graham Act, which authorizes punitive tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil.
- Strained by the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war and conflict in the Middle East, global energy supplies prompted the administration to implement these waivers to ease economic pressure.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the President plans a 60-day period to analyze economic impacts, while confirming a separate agreement for Russia to supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel.
- While the waiver offers relief to India, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned it could embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Senator Darline Graham stated, "Personally, I would choose to keep the pressure on Russia."
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to be in India on Monday, October 19, 2026, as the administration weighs geopolitical consequences regarding pressure on Moscow.
