Not just Russia, has this country also avoided Trump's 'tariff strike', what is the reason for this?
Washington, April 5, (IANS). US President Donald Trump imposed extensive rates on 184 countries around the world on April 2. India has been imposed 26 percent rates, while China and other countries have charged even more. Almost all countries will now face the 10 percent baseline tariffs. However, some other countries, including Russia, are excluded? After all, what is the reason for this? Since the White House released the ‘tariff list’, the absence of a very important country Russia has remained a discussion. Neatness was also issued by the White House. However, Russia’s exit from the ‘tariff list’ is not very surprising. Trump has been taking a very gentle attitude towards Russia since the second entry in the White House. He also constantly targeted Kiev on the issue of the Ukraine War while defending Moscow. According to the US Outlet Exios, the White House Caroline Lewet press secretary said that Russia was excluded (from the tariff list) because it is already subject to US sanctions, which occur any significant trade between Kremlin and Washington DC. Russia asked Trump to lift some restrictions under the US ceasefire of Ukraine. However, Levitt says that Russia can still experience “additional strict sanctions”. Let me tell you that Trump Russia has recently threatened to put secondary tariff on oil. According to the US president, he is “angry” about the comments of Russian President Vladimir Putin about Ukraine. Last year, the US-Russian trading price fell by about $ 35 billion in 2021 to $ 3.5 billion in 2021 due to restrictions imposed on Ukraine. The US is increasingly trading with Russia than countries such as Mauritius or Brunei, which is included in Trump’s tariff list. Apart from Russia, Cuba, Belo -Rusland and North Korea are also excluded from the tariff list. Levitt says that the current fees and restrictions on these countries are already very high. Canada and Mexico were also not included in this tariff list. Levit put the reason for this, saying that Trump had already imposed 25% tariff on both. -Ians mk/ share this story tags
