The Russian Federation and its allies, such as Belarus and the DPRK, are “under penalties,” the White House spokesman said.
US President Donald Trump has introduced duties for many countries in the world with a minimum rate of 10%, including for Ukraine. At the same time, there are no Russia, DPRK, Cuba and Belarus on the list. The reason for the latter is the US penalties to “exclude any significant trade.” This was announced by the Press Secretary of the White House Caroline Livitt in a commentary on the Axios portal.
The media at the same time records that the United States is still trading in Russia than some countries on the list of duties, including Mauritius or Brunei.
In addition, even the secluded and non -tight territories, such as the tokelau (population of about 1,500 people) in the southern part of the Pacific and Spitsbergen (population of nearly 2500 people) behind the polar circle – the territory of New Zealand and Norway, respectively, is included in the list.
According to Lithvt, Russia can still find “additional strict penalties.”
Canada and Mexico are also not included in the Trump list. The press secretary confirmed that this had happened because Trump had already introduced 25%duty to both countries.
The media recalled that the cost of trade between the United States and Russia dropped dramatically from nearly $ 35 billion to 2021 to $ 3.5 billion last year.
As you know, on Wednesday, April 2, Trump announced the introduction of major duties to imported goods. He called it America’s “Day of Liberation”.
