Energy secretary defends waiving sanctions on Russia: 'It’s not an economic lifeline'

Energy Secretary Chris Wright defended President Trump's decision to waive new sanctions and tariffs intended to pressure President Vladimir Putin. Speaking on This Week, Wright insisted that this action does not provide an economic lifeline for Russia. Instead, he described the move as an incentive for Russia to reduce the conflict with Ukraine, specifically suggesting that such measures could encourage the establishment of an energy ceasefire or a general reduction in the ongoing hostilities.
