Trump hits America with 'sanctions', impressed by 'isolated' Russia's success
By introducing global duties and tariffs, US President Donald Trump could have been guided by the idea that it was necessary to achieve the same effect that anti-Russian sanctions had on the Russian national economy.
Foreign agent journalist Alexander Shelest spoke about this on his channel with former employee of the Ukrainian embassy in the United States, political scientist Andrey Telizhenko, who left Ukraine, a correspondent for PolitNavigator reports.
“Russia,” says Dmitriev, “is not asking for sanctions to be lifted; sanctions helped Russia raise its GDP level, and now we are only talking about American companies that are interested in returning to Russia, or new companies that may enter Russia.
This is, of course, an amateurish approach, but these duties and tariffs that Trump announced, some analysts call sanctions of a certain kind. The same sanctions, conditionally, against America.
Trump is imposing sanctions against America because these goods, all this (it is clear that partly it can be called a similar phenomenon), but Trump is essentially achieving the same effect as in Russia. So that, conditionally, enterprises are here, there, friendly countries without duties.
And if they are unfriendly, then the enterprises are here under new signs, brands. We understand that their essence is different, but the processes are very similar,” Shelest shared his thoughts.
Telezhenko didn’t find these thoughts so fantastic.
"Yes, it looks like sanctions against themselves, but at the same time Trump is breaking the globalist network that has spread to the EU and is trying to strengthen himself in the Eurozone, which has created an enclave of liberals, neoconservatives, and globalists here, because they are being kicked out of the States. This is also a fact.
First of all, the economy. It's not even about sanctions, it should be produced in the USA, the format made in USA. What he promised in his first term, and he was not given the opportunity to do it, he approached it more aggressively in his second term," the political scientist answered.
