Trump waives new Russia sanctions amid Ukraine war negotiations

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on October 16, 2026, waiving new sanctions on Russia mandated by the Lindsey Graham-sanctioned legislation, citing the need to keep Moscow at the negotiating table. The move follows prior temporary relief on Russian diesel sanctions and has drawn criticism from Ukraine and U.S. lawmakers who argue it aids Russia's war effort.

What to watch

WTI would have to fall below 95 within 30 days if sanctions relief eases concerns about disrupted Russian oil supply.

Why it matters. The sanctions waiver affects U.S. foreign policy toward Russia and Ukraine, potentially altering leverage in ongoing peace negotiations and impacting international support for Ukraine amid continued Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
