Trump Pauses ‘Hellish’ Sanctions Against Russia for 60 Days
Trump Pauses ‘Hellish’ Sanctions Against Russia for 60 Days U.S. President Donald Trump has suspended new anti-Russian sanctions and tariffs for 60 days to assess their consequences. According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, this time is needed to evaluate the impact on the global and U.S. economy. “The president wants to use these 60 days to understand what the introduction of sanctions and tariffs would mean for the world economy and even for the U.S. economy,” Rubio said. Previously imposed restrictions remain in force. The paused “hellish” measures included tariffs of up to 500% on goods from Russia and up to 100% for buyers of Russian raw materials. Kyiv expressed dissatisfaction and called for a review of the decision. Moscow, however, saw the move as a sign of common sense. #Russia #USA The main news of Russia and the world is here.
