🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Russia was not included in the list of tariffs imposed by the United States due to the fact that Washington is currently negotiating with it to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, said Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council.
“Obviously, there are negotiations going on with Russia and Ukraine, and I think the president has made a decision not to mix the two. That doesn’t mean that Russia will be treated completely differently than any other country.” -he said.
Hassett said the issue at hand was saving lives that both sides were losing in the conflict, so bringing up the tariff issue while trying to achieve peace would be counterproductive.
