New tariffs for Ukraine at 10% from the USA will not affect the Ukrainian economy and arms supplies. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a briefing, UNN reports.
Details
The trade turnover between Ukraine and the USA is very small. This is not very good for the economy. This is clear, and regarding the issue of tariffs, they will not affect us, in general, our economy. The volume of arms supply does not affect this in any way. The volume that we saw... today we have 3.5-3.8 billion trade turnover between us and the USA. We understand what tariffs were before this on our metallurgy, we had 25% on metallurgy even earlier. After the start of the full-scale war, the tariff was reduced, but today it has returned. I mean, these are not the volumes that can be discussed today with some problems. This is not a problem for us
