On the 11th, US President Joe Biden announced a policy to cancel "most favored nation treatment" that guarantees the same conditions as other trading partners such as tariffs as additional economic sanctions against Russia, which continues to invade Ukraine.
The parliament is planning to proceed with the necessary procedures, and if it is implemented, it is expected that high tariffs will be imposed on imports from Russia.
It also announced that it would ban the import of Russian diamonds, vodka and fish and shellfish, and intends to further increase economic pressure.
President Biden says that he will strengthen sanctions in cooperation with the G7 = seven major countries including Japan and the EU = European Union.
