Trump waives sanctions against Russia ahead of taking effect this week
President Donald Trump has blocked several sanctions against Russia just two days before they were set to take effect, escalating tensions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The sanctions were passed by Congress and signed into law by Trump in September.
