Revoking Russia’s Most Favored Nation Trade Status: US

President Biden announced that the United States-G7 would revoke most favored nation (MFN) trade status to Russia, along with the European Union and NATO.
The revocation of Russia’s PNTR status would allow the United States to increase and impose new tariffs on all Russian imports. In the US, “Most Favored Nation” status is also known as Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR).
North Korea and Cuba are not the only ones to have “most favored nation” status from the US. The main objective of this move is to punish the Russian government for the invasion of Ukraine. The United States will also not export luxury goods to Russia.
Earlier, the US has banned the import of oil and energy from Russia. This action would cause economic damage to Russia by damaging its ability to export to prosperous Western markets; It will also raise costs for Americans and our trading partners who may rely on affected Russian products.
