Donald Trump blocks sanctions bill related to Russia
US President Donald Trump has made one of the most controversial decisions of his second presidential term by signing a special executive order restricting the envisioned sanctions against the Russian Federation.

The document in question severely reduces the impact of the bill introduced by Senators Graham and Blumenthal, which contained strict economic pressures against Russia. With the signed decree, Russia has been kept out of a number of important sanction packages.
Experts interpret this move as Washington's attempt to reshape relations with Moscow in its foreign policy. This decision by the White House has been met with dissatisfaction by some members of the US Congress.
The Graham-Blumenthal bill originally aimed to deal a severe blow to Russia's energy and financial sectors. However, the new executive order has made the implementation of this law virtually impossible.
This step by the president has sparked widespread debate internationally and indicates the beginning of a new era in US-Russia relations. The parties have not yet made official statements regarding the future diplomatic consequences of this decision.
