USA đșđž - RUSSIA đ·đș: TRUMP WANTS TO MAKE RUSSIA PAY: WHAT DOES IT CHANGE FOR THE UNITED STATES?
Donald Trump announced that he would hit Russia with heavy taxes if it does not reach an agreement on Ukraine in the next 50 days. These taxes could rise up to 100% on Russian products sold in the United States. But would it really hurt? And what if Russia decided to stop selling anything to Americans at all?
First, it should be noted that the United States hardly buys any Russian oil anymore since the war in Ukraine. However, there are still some important products, such as uranium for nuclear power plants (20% of what Americans use comes from Russia). Without this, some plants could face problems.
Next, Russia sells very useful metals to the United States, such as titanium (to make airplanes, especially at Boeing) and palladium (for cars and phones). If these metals become scarce, airplanes and cars could become more expensive.
There are also Russian fertilizers used in American fields. Without them, the price of corn or wheat could increase slightly. But overall, the United States does not depend too much on Russia.
If Russia stops everything, it will surely sell more to China or India, but it will lose some dollars. On their side, Americans will have to find other suppliers, which will take time and may cost more.
AND YOU, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- Will these sanctions really make Russia bend, or will it just complicate things for everyone?
- If the prices of electronics or gasoline rise because of this, would it be worth it?
