- Austria pointed to the possibility of cooperation between Russia and the United States against the background of Trump's duties


Against the background of a fundamental change in US customs policy, economic cooperation between Russia and the United States may resume. Austrian geopolitical analyst Patrick Poppel told Izvestia about this on April 10.
"In other words, we are actually witnessing a departure from Europe towards possible economic cooperation with Russia. This is due to the fact that Europe has always been a natural rival of the United States. The Europeans were simply used when it was needed. And when they are no longer needed, they look for a new ally. This is the pragmatic style of action of the American administration," he said.
According to the analyst, the duties imposed by US President Donald Trump will have a negative impact on many sectors of the economy. Poppel also added that China is currently the main competitor of the United States. In this regard, the American side will try to "pull Russia out of China's orbit" for further cooperation between the states.
Earlier that day, the American leader postponed the imposition of duties for 90 days for 75 countries due to the panic of citizens. Trump also described the market situation as rather gloomy after his decision to impose duties.
Prior to that, on April 9, Trump announced that the United States would increase trade duties on China to 125%. He also added that more than 75 countries have summoned U.S. representatives for trade talks, which is why Trump is lowering the mutual tariff.
