exposure!The United States is still importing a lot-

The US media broke the news that the United States is still importing Russian products in large quantities

After the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine, the United States imposed several rounds of sanctions on Russia. However, according to the Associated Press reported on the 25th, the U.S. government has imposed sanctions on Russia for about half a year. More than 3,600 ships have arrived in the United States with more than 3,600 ships, metal, rubber and other Russian goods, and the average monthly imports exceeded US $ 1 billion.

The United States claims to use sanctions to "devastate" to the Russian economy, but for its own interests, it still maintains imports from Russia in many areas, involving hundreds of product categories.

According to statistics, since the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, the imports of the United States, especially aluminum products, have never interrupted. Since February, the United States has imported more than 900 ships from Russia, with a total of over 264 million tons of metal products. Buyers include Boeing Corporation to hold tens of billions of companies to purchase big companies in the US government. At the same time, the United States announced in March that it would stop importing Russia's oil, natural gas and coal, but set up a "buffer period" to allow American companies to complete the existing orders. On the week of the United States announced the energy embargo, about 1 million barrels of Russian crude oil arrived in the United States. The buyer was "Monroe Energy", a subsidiary of Damimei Airlines; Oil refineries for energy companies. Since then, the tankers from the port of Russia have continued to transport goods to the US refinery. In addition, the United States still encourages imported Russian products in some areas. Most of the agricultural trade trade between the United States and Russia is still unblocked. In the past six months, Russia's fertilizer has arrived in the United States.

In response, Obrain, director of the US State Department's Sanctions and Coordination Office, said that the United States must ensure the greatest effectiveness of sanctions and allow trade operations. American economists believe that the current US -inflation companies' high inflation will stop importing Russian commodities that will greatly increase the market price of the United States. The Associated Press pointed out that the US move is to safeguard its own interests. If the import of Russian products is prohibited, the relevant US industries will lose greater losses than Russia.
