Summary

President Trump's executive order waiving sanctions under the Graham Act, signed late Friday, drew criticism Saturday from Democrats and some Republicans in Congress, who called the move harmful to Ukraine. Sen. Thomas Massie praised the decision. Ukrainian President Zelensky called it unfortunate, saying it would encourage Russia, but said Ukraine remains ready to negotiate. Trump told Congress the pause was in the national interest, without elaborating.
