The United States, along with the Group of 7 and the European Union will today move to remove the "most favoured nation" clause from Russia for the invasion of Ukraine, paving the way for an increase in customs duties, according to sources familiar with the matter and US media reports.
US President Joe Biden is expected to announce today his intention to take this measure, the final decision on which will be taken in coordination with the G7 and the European Union and, as far as Washington is concerned, must receive congressional approval. This approval is expected to be formal, since in a display of rare bipartisan consensus, Republicans and Democrats have come out in favour of the measure.
