Trump Waives New Russia-Linked Tariffs
President Donald Trump waived new Russia-linked tariffs in an October 16 order, keeping earlier sanctions in place. The order specifies additional duties of 500% on Russian goods and 100% on goods from two groups: the five largest Russian oil and gas importers that knowingly make new purchases on or after October 18, and the top five facilitators of Russian oil sanctions evasion. The waivers have no fixed expiry and remain effective until further action is deemed appropriate by the president or secretary of state.
