President Donald Trump waived sweeping sanctions and tariffs on Russia on October 17, 2026. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that this waiver is a 60-day pause intended to analyze the impact on the global and US economies. Rubio also noted that countries like India cannot abruptly stop purchasing Russian energy despite efforts to diversify supplies.

The decision involves economic restrictions that affect multiple countries, not solely Russia. Marco Rubio emphasized the need for this review period to study the combination of sanctions and tariffs, particularly given high energy prices and the Iran war.
