US President Donald Trump took a step to prevent the sanctions in question, two days before the bill that would impose sanctions on the Russian government and state companies and impose tariffs on countries importing energy from Russia.

In the statement made on the White House website, it was reported that Trump signed the decree suspending the sanctions targeting Russia and cited "national interests" as the reason for this.

On September 18, US President Donald Trump signed the bill that imposes sanctions on the Russian government and state companies and imposes tariffs on countries importing energy from Russia.

Trump announced on October 9 that they agreed with Russia to supply hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel in order to reduce global fuel prices, and in return they temporarily suspended sanctions.

Trump's announcement came just weeks after the US Congress passed legislation directing the President to impose significant tariffs on the largest importers of Russian oil or natural gas.
