Trump's decision to waive Russian sanctions outrages Congress, but no quick counter seen

US President Donald Trump waived sanctions on Russia, which Congress had overwhelmingly approved for supporting Ukraine. Lawmakers expressed anger after the decision, criticizing Trump's approach towards Russia's President Vladimir Putin. As Ukraine faces severe winter conditions due to ongoing attacks, Congress remains out of session until after the elections. A bipartisan group of senators has urged faster action against Russia's oil trade.
