Rubio Says Trump To Take up to 60 Days To Weigh Russia Sanctions
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump will use up to 60 days to assess the economic impact of Russia-related sanctions and tariffs that Trump waived a day earlier. Trump said he has not announced a final decision, and the Friday executive order waiving key sanctions and tariffs under the Graham Act did not specify how long the waiver would last. The measures, including tariffs on Russian goods and penalties on countries buying Russian oil and gas, had been due to take effect next week.
Why it matters: This bears on the sanctions theme: Washington is weighing the economic impact of Russia-related measures before they take effect.
