Trump Waives New Russia Sanctions One Week After Diesel Deal
Trump on Friday signed an executive order setting, but immediately waiving, sweeping new tariffs and sanctions on Russia.
BBC News
What the coverage shows
Most outlets focus on Trump’s waiver of new Russia sanctions and frame it alongside worsening tensions with Zelensky, with BBC News, NBC News, The Guardian US, Newsweek and the South China Morning Post all emphasizing the sanctions angle. France 24 and The Independent foreground Zelensky’s criticism of the deal and his turn toward Europe, while CNBC highlights broader implications for Ukraine. National Review is the outlier, using a more openly skeptical headline, and The Hill alone appears to center Trump’s attack on Zelensky rather than the sanctions decision.
