The US president has invoked a national-interest exemption to suspend sweeping penalties under the Lindsey Graham bill

In an executive order issued on Friday, Trump waived sanctions and tariffs mandated by the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, including proposed 500% tariffs on Russian imports and 100% tariffs on major buyers of Russian oil and gas.
