President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order that puts on hold a sweeping new sanctions package targeting the Russian economy, telling Congress the pause was in the national interest.

Trump personally signed the legislation just last month and his move came just two days before a deadline set in the law itself for its implementation. It drew shift condemnation from congressional Democrats.

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

Trump’s unexpected decision comes a week after he stunningly said the U.S. had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down global energy prices, despite that potentially hurting Ukraine in its war with Russia.

    I’m sure it’s worse than that. The country has shown it doesn’t give a damn about rape and pedophilia, I’m sure even if he broadcast that video as an official ad, MAGA would still vote for him.

    USA….officially a country for rapists by rapists.

      At least his supporters don’t care.

      Woman stands up at one of his hate rallies, and wearing a shirt saying release the Epstein files.

      The monkeys at his stupid hate rally decide to respond by…punching her.

      Donnie calls her fat and calls her a him.

      I wonder where all those fucking idiotic qtards went, by the way? One of them was even a Propaganda Barbie for donnie for about 2 seconds this week. She was (is?) into Qanon horseshit; meanwhile, no Epstein files released.

      Hmmmmmm…
