Former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that exempts Russia from certain sanctions provisions under a broader law aimed at countering adversarial nations. The move comes as part of efforts to address concerns over the law’s potential impact on U.S. energy and defense sectors. Critics argue the exemption weakens enforcement against Russia, while supporters claim it balances national security with economic stability. The decision highlights ongoing tensions between sanctions policy and geopolitical strategy.
