TOUS 4786 Ukraine Donald Trump suspend les nouvelles sanctions contre la Russie

Donald Trump has decided to suspend the implementation of new sanctions against Russia, despite them being mandated by a law recently passed by the US Congress. In an executive order published on October 16, the president invoked "the national interest of the United States." The measures targeted Russian officials, banks, and the shadow fleet transporting hydrocarbons, while also imposing tariffs of up to 100% on certain countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. This decision comes after the announcement of an energy agreement between Washington and Moscow and is causing serious concern in Kyiv, which fears a weakening of US support in the face of the Russian offensive.
