www.independent.co.uk/news/world/euro...Donald Trump has not included Russia on its expansive list of countries that will face major new tariffs starting today as Vladimir Putin’s top negotiator held meetings in Washington.
At the same time, war-hit Ukraine is facing 10 per cent tariffs from the US administration.
The White House has not explained why Russia will not face tariffs.
Mr Putin's investment envoy and one of the most US-savvy members of Russia's elite, Kirill Dmitriev, met with US officials in Washington yesterday. The highest-ranking Russian official to visit the US since the invasion in February 2022, he is visiting on invitation from Mr Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
His visit comes at a time when the Trump administration continues to press Russia and Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire. As he unveiled his tariffs on Wednesday, Mr Trump hailed “good cooperation” between Russia and Ukraine while underlining his desire to stop the war.
