    Trump Suspends New Russia Sanctions Law

    President Donald Trump has signed an executive order suspending the application of new harsh sanctions against Russia provided for by the so-called 'Graham Law'. This decision was made in mid-October 2026, just two days before the package of measures was due to come into force. Trump used his presidential powers to freeze its implementation, citing it as being in the 'national interest of the United States'. The American administration cannot apply the new law on anti-Russian sanctions because the 30-day deadline has expired, and Congress has not approved its extension, said American expert Rob Malen. The potential introduction of sanctions after the deadline could be challenged in court.
