"As described further in section 4 of this order, I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions, and duties provided for in the Graham Act [Lindsey Graham is designated as a terrorist and extremist in Russia]. I have submitted to the Congress a certification that the issuance of such a waiver at this time is in the national interests of the United States," the executive order says. What he just waived:On September 18, Trump signed a law that allows for the imposition of new sanctions against Russia. The document authorizes him to apply additional tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that rank among the top five purchasers of Russian oil and natural gas, as well as additional tariffs of up to 500% on Russian goods imported into the United States.

US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order directing that a number of sanctions, restrictions, and tariffs, stipulated by the recently enacted law on sanctions against Russia and Iran, not be applied.
"As described further in section 4 of this order, I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions, and duties provided for in the Graham Act [Lindsey Graham is designated as a terrorist and extremist in Russia]. I have submitted to the Congress a certification that the issuance of such a waiver at this time is in the national interests of the United States," the executive order says.
What he just waived:
The 500% tariffs on Russian-origin goods
The 100% tariffs on the top 5 importers of Russian oil and gas — aimed squarely at China and India
The 100% tariffs on the top 5 facilitators of Russian sanctions evasion
On September 18, Trump signed a law that allows for the imposition of new sanctions against Russia. The document authorizes him to apply additional tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that rank among the top five purchasers of Russian oil and natural gas, as well as additional tariffs of up to 500% on Russian goods imported into the United States.
