[UPDATE] Ohio Republican Max Miller and the Wall Street Journal editorial board oppose Trump's waiver of the Graham Act's Russia sanctions

Max Miller (Rep-R Ohio) came out against Trump's waiver of the Graham Act's Russia sanctions on Monday, Oct. 19. A day earlier, the Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote that Trump had "stuck a shiv in the back" of the late Lindsey Graham's legacy. Trump signed the law himself on Sept. 18, then suspended its new sanctions and tariffs 28 days later, on Friday, Oct. 16. Why Miller counts. He holds a swing seat that Decision Desk HQ gives him a 52% chance of keeping on Nov. 3, and his district includes Parma, home to more than 4,000 Ukrainians. "The Administration should not waive sanctions passed by Congress to punish Russia for its brutal war of choice in Ukraine," he wrote on X. The Journal's number. The board called the diesel deal "a $4.5 billion windfall for Russian energy companies." Carnegie analyst Sergey Vakulenko puts Russia's best-case gain at $30–$40 a ton, or about $54 million–$72 million on the 1.8 million tons announced, since Russia could sell the diesel to existing buyers anyway. What next. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calls the waiver a 60-day economic review, which would run to about Dec. 15. That is the administration's own timetable; the order sets no end date.
