Isn't President Trump’s "deal with Putin" just the President bypassing US legal sanctions?

I had to read the "deal' a few times to see what I was missing. If you know, please tell me.
The only thing stopping Russia from selling all the oil it could was American sanctions. Trump is lifting them. To what is Putin agreeing that wasn't already a given?
Not that it matters, but US law---Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act of 2022---prohibits the US buying any Russian oil until Russia leaves Ukraine.
Would the headline have been bad if it were simply "Trump lifts sanctions on Russia in effort to lower prices globally"?
While I'm emptying sand out of my vagina, what are the terms of "our" supposed current "deal" with Venezuela regarding what percentage we keep from selling their oil? Is it just up to the discretion of some unidentified bureaucrat? As of September, there was no publicly available audit of the funds or the disbursement process.
If anybody knows any specifics on our current (not the future development) deal with Venezuela, please let us know. Thanks

Perhaps if Congress actually did something it might matter

What kind of oil are we talking about?

If trump is violating the law, then i fully expect us all to be informed about it...repeatedly

Now Trump is funding Russia in the Ukraine war? Sounds like he has betrayed his country’s national interests..

You elected a President who even congressional Republicans don’t want to work with. Make it make sense.

If tweet fails to load, click here. I think everything trump is doing now has to do with midterms. If trump thinks putin can help him, he will use him.Posted on 10/10/26 at 11:09 am to TrueTiger

The sanctions apply to any kind of oil.

I think it’s aimed at U.S. businesses, not the U.S. government itself.

Like the Epstein Files Transparency Act 1.0, there aren't any enforcement provisions in the 2022 law.

Your statement is based on the fallacy that Ukraine is in any way the US' national interest.

Thanks, but it seems pretty clear: no Russian oil into the US...by any entity...
“All products of the Russian Federation classified under chapter 27 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States shall be banned from importation into the United States.”

Exactly. This really doesn’t have anything to do with choosing sides like some are trying to frame it.

He hasn't. The Treasury issued the proper permit to bypass the sanctions.
Importing Russian oil (of any type) into the US would violate US law. I don't think we need to...

I haven’t read, but I bet the sovereign is exempt, it usually is.

I have read it. There aren't any exemptions written into the law...but maybe there's a legal argument OUTSIDE the language of the law?
As a practical matter, it doesn't seem like we need to import Russian oil (of any kind). It was weird to see so many news reports, and little mention of the legal prohibition of importation.
