Trump waives Russian sanctions outlined in Graham Act before they take effect

SO YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE WAS SAYING THAT NEW LAW WAS NAMED AFTER LINDSAY GRAHAM, RIGHT, WHICH IS A WEIRD THING TO NAME A LAW AFTER SOMEONE WHO JUST DIED, BUT ANYWAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP LITERALLY SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON FRIDAY TO JUST WIPE AWAY THE SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA BEFORE THEY EVEN STARTED! IT IS CRAZY BECAUSE THAT LEGISLATION WAS SUPPOSED TO PUT ALL THIS PRESSURE ON THE KREMLIN, BUT NOW HE IS JUST WAIVING THEM OFF WITH A STROKE OF A PEN! I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHY HE DID IT, THE ARTICLE DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXPLAIN THE MOTIVE, IT JUST SAYS IT HAPPENED! IT IS HONESTLY A TOTAL MYSTERY AND I FEEL LIKE WE ARE ALL MISSING SOMETHING HUGE HERE BUT ANYWAY I AM FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

President Trump signed an executive order waiving sanctions against Russia that were mandated by a recently passed legislative package dedicated to the late Senator Lindsay Graham.
