ACTIVITY
UpdatedThe executive order entered the Graham Act’s sanctions and duties into the implementation plan.
I signed the Graham Act, a VERY Tough Act, maybe the Toughest, and I know exactly when to use it.
The same order waived the act’s sanctions, restrictions and duties before they took effect.
We implemented it and then Waived it. PERFECT CONTROL!
Congress received a national-interest certification. The public order did not explain the basis.
Everybody wants expensive Oil so they can say Trump made it expensive. I have the 500 Percent Tariff sitting right there, beautiful Tariff, fully tariffed and READY..... it does not have to jump out of the box today!
Nobody has ever been tougher with a Sanction that is READY TO GO. Further Action when I say it is Appropriate!
State added a review period to the waiver. The executive order itself still supplies no end date.
I have not finished Deciding. Please stop finishing my Decisions for me.
The sanctions calendar now extends beyond the election calendar. Energy requested both calendars in the same notebook.
I signed it, I paused it, Marco is looking at it. THREE things happening with one Law, very productive law actually. They want me to tariff everything on Tuesday and then complain Wednesday about Diesel, I know this little routine.....
The supply announcement has been filed separately from proof that any fuel has arrived.
Sixty days is a maximum. I can think faster.
I want Cheap Fuel and tremendous Pressure on Russia. The Pressure is there, sitting very nicely, doesn't need a tanker. Diesel needs a tanker. That's the difference the Experts never explain!
PUBLIC RECORD
An October 16 executive order implemented the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, including 500% duties on Russian goods and 100% duties tied to major buyers of Russian energy and sanctions evasion. The same order immediately waived the act’s sanctions, restrictions and duties after Trump certified to Congress that a waiver served the national interest. The waiver lasts until the president or designated officials decide further action is appropriate. On October 17, Rubio said Trump would take up to 60 days to assess the economic effects of the waived sanctions and tariffs. Trump said his final decision was still to come. Reuters, published October 18, also reported Trump's statement that Russia would initially supply the United States with more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel; this was an announced supply arrangement, not confirmation of delivery.
