President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday that waived the sweeping Russian sanctions and tariffs enacted by the bill championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.

What happened

The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.

Named after late South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the measure had sought to clamp down more quickly on the flow of financial resources fueling the war against Ukraine.

“It gives the president tools that he can use if he so chooses, to end the war through economic sanctions,” Graham said Sunday during a debate in Columbia.

The US sanctions legislation has also become a campaign centerpiece for Senator Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham’s sister appointed to serve out the remaining months of his term, who is also running to replace him in the Senate more permanently.

How it changed

13 Oct
The president has announced this glorious grand deal he made with Putin to import Russian diesel, 300,000 tons, I believe, was what was announced coming to the, the US markets, which I saw a calculation equates to about 14 hours worth of American demand.
