Sanctions and Diesel: Where Does the U.S. Stand on Russia Policy?

Congress passed a bipartisan bill named for the late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) last month to impose sanctions on Russia and penalties on countries that buy its oil. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law but later issued an executive order waiving the new Russia-related sanctions and tariffs. His administration also lifted sanctions on Russian diesel.
