U.S. Secretary of the Economy on possible response to Trump’s tariffs: "Accept it"

"My advice to all these countries: stay calm. Accept it, otherwise escalation may occur,"— said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Scott Bessent about the possible response to Trump’s tariffs.

At the same time, Bessent noted that Russia was not included in the list of countries subject to tariffs, because «the United States does not have trade relations with Russia». At the moment, U.S. sanctions against Russia are in effect, he added.
