Russia Mocks US Over Tariffs, Accuses America of Neocolonialism
In response to US actions, Russia has criticized the imposition of sanctions and tariffs, labeling them a “neocolonial agenda” driven by Washington’s inability to accept a multipolar world. Maria Zakharova, a Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman, stated that these measures constitute “politically motivated economic pressure” against nations pursuing an independent path. Russia asserts that these actions contravene free trade principles and are supported by BRICS nations, vowing to deepen cooperation to resist these sanctions. The Russian response followed Donald Trump’s threat to raise tariffs on India, accusing them of selling Russian oil for profit and supporting the war in Ukraine.
