Possible scenario
Limited Waiver Advances
35% Chance
The Trump administration moves ahead with a narrow sanctions carve-out tied to an energy truce, arguing that limited diesel or refinery-related relief is needed to test Moscow's willingness to halt attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The most likely form is temporary licensing rather than broad sanctions rollback, because Kyiv, Congress and European governments remain deeply skeptical after the Kyiv strikes.
