Trump's decision to waive Russian sanctions outrages Congress | AP News

President Trump signed an executive order Friday night waiving Russian sanctions that were due to take effect Sunday under a bipartisan law passed 86-11 in the Senate. Lawmakers from both parties condemned the move, with Republicans like Thom Tillis and John Cornyn calling it capitulation to Putin, and Democrats urging action to reverse it. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump would take 60 days to review the sanctions' economic impacts, citing gas prices and the Iran war. Congress is in recess until after the Nov. 3 elections, limiting any immediate response.
