A US official reveals the secret of Russia’s exemption from the customs duties of Trump

The director of the American National Economic Council, Kevin Haysit, said that US President Donald Trump decided not to.
He explained that the secret of this is the fear that the ongoing talks were spoiled on a possible ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.

Hasit told ABC today, Sunday, that it would be inappropriate to “put a new issue in the middle of these negotiations.”

Russia was remarkably absent from the list of wide punitive customs duties, which was announced earlier in the week, which included almost all countries of the world, including Ukraine.

This does not mean that Russia is dealing completely different from other countries, explaining that Trump focuses only on talks with Russia to end the war against Ukraine.
White House spokeswoman, Caroline Levitte, said in a preliminary interpretation after the announcement of customs duties, that Russia has not been included because US sanctions are already preventing any significant trade with it.
