According to a report on July 2, local time of the Russian media, a document released by the US government said that the United States will impose import tariffs of 35%of Russian goods from the end of July and announced a list of tariffs.

U.S. officials: Sanctions to carefully set the cost of Russia

According to reports, the list of tariffs includes minerals, wood products, metals and other types of products. According to US government statistics, the total imports of tariffs are $ 2.3 billion. The list does not include 铂, platinum, titanium, and some cast iron and nickel products. According to reports, Russia is one of the largest exporters in the world and the main source of the United States imported. U.S. officials have previously acknowledged that these sanctions measures were carefully set up in order to pay Russia to pay.

Since February this year, Western countries such as the United States have implemented multiple rounds of sanctions on Russia. Analysts believe that sanctions against Russia are double -edged swords. Russia is an important supplier of the world's oil, natural gas, food, and metal minerals. Continuously increased sanctions on Russia will push up the price of high energy, food, etc., and Western countries such as the United States will face greater inflation pressure. At present, the U.S. inflation rate has reached the highest level in 40 years, and the domestic and international community's concerns about the decline of the US economy have increased. U.S. officials have also acknowledged many times that a negative spillover effect on Russia sanctions has affected its own economy.
