President Trump has signed an executive order that puts on hold a sweeping new sanctions package targeting the Russian economy.
Trump says the pause is in the national interest.
Named after late South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the sanctions package had sought to clamp down more quickly on the flow of financial resources fueling Russia's war against Ukraine.
The executive order comes a week after Trump stunned observers by announcing that the US had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down energy prices -- a move that will likely hurt Ukraine.
