President Trump prevented some new sanctions on Russia and hefty tariffs on large-scale buyers of Russian oil from taking effect late Friday, waiving portions of a bipartisan law aimed at pressuring the Russian government — as Mr. Trump seeks to ease prices by tapping Russian energy. He also waived the law's 500% tariffs on Russian goods, and halted certain other sanctions on Russia. He said the waivers will remain in place until administration officials "determine that further action is appropriate," and directed members of his administration to "monitor" countries that import Russian energy or evade sanctions.
The new sanctions and tariffs were set to take effect in two days.
