The United States is preparing to impose new import duties from April 2. Russia may be among the countries to which these measures will be extended. This was reported by the Wall Street Journal newspaper, citing sources in the White House.
Thus, the United States is preparing to introduce new "reciprocal duties" against countries with trade imbalances. The measures will apply to G20 countries and other states, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the EU, India, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Vietnam and Russia. These countries form the bulk of U.S. foreign trade.
