Donald Trump repealed sanctions on Russian energy exports days before they took effect

Donald Trump repealed sanctions on Russian energy exports just days before they were set to take effect. The canceled measures would have imposed protective tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that remain key importers of oil and gas from Russia. In Moscow, the U.S. president's decision was welcomed positively, while lawmakers in the U.S. Congress from both the Republican and Democratic parties harshly criticized the move.
