Yes, however, during his first term, he continually removed sanctions. It is not surprising that he's planning to do so again.

2016: Trump to look at recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, lifting sanctions

2017: Trump administration relaxes U.S. sanctions on Russia imposed under Obama

2018-19: Trump Administration to Lift Sanctions on Russian Oligarch’s Companies & US lifts sanctions on Putin ally's firms

The Senate did go against Trump and impose sanctions during Trump's term, however. This time, that seems unlikely.
