Donald Trump has cancelled the introduction of new tariffs against Russia
Published
U.S. President Donald Trump has decided not to apply a number of restrictive measures against Russia. This concerns sections 112 and 113 of the law known as the "Graham sanctions," which proposed the introduction of strict economic restrictions.
According to official data, these sections of the law provided for the introduction of additional customs duties. In particular, the possibility of establishing a 500% levy on certain categories of goods was discussed. However, the president's current order cancels these plans.
Experts note that such measures could have significantly affected trade relations between the countries and changed the structure of imports. The decision not to implement these provisions of the law means that these tariffs will not be put into effect in the near future.
At the moment, the U.S. administration has not provided detailed comments on the reasons for this decision. Nevertheless, this step is seen as an important signal for international business and markets that are closely monitoring Washington's sanctions policy.
The situation remains under observation by analysts. Further developments will depend on future political decisions and diplomatic contacts between Russia and the United States.
