INTRO: President Trump is easing some economic pressure on Russia in hopes of bringing Russian President Vladimir Putin closer to a peace deal as the war between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Trump is going to take up to 60 days to consider the Russian sanctions and to weigh the waiver of those sanctions on Russia. This comes as House Republicans are concerned about waiving those sanctions. House Speaker Mike Johnson is busy on the campaign trail to rally support in the November midterms. He joins Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures” to weigh in.
