Reuters: The United States will impose export restrictions in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine
“The move, which was discussed at a meeting of senior US officials on Tuesday, will be in addition to economic sanctions, which the Biden government will seek to deploy in the event of a Russian invasion,” Reuters reported in a special report, IRNA reported Wednesday. Will deploy a thousand forces on the border with Ukraine.
The US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that the measures discussed at the White House meeting would include “extraordinary” export control measures that could affect large parts of industrial and consumer technology. Restrict Russia.
The measures in question could prevent Russia from importing smartphones, key parts of aircraft and cars, and materials needed by many other sectors. Such a ban could have a huge impact on Russian consumers, industrial infrastructure and jobs.
The US official also said that his country’s possible actions could be unprecedented in relation to Russia. Washington may be using the tools used by former President Donald Trump’s administration and the tools used by the Chinese government to restrict Huawei’s access to microchips.
He also said that the basis for such a move is based on the fact that half of the media used in Huawei phones includes parts designed in the United States.
The US official also said that his country’s officials intend to closely consult with their main partners in Europe and Asia who are willing to participate in these actions and encourage them to take more action in due course.
Russia’s mobile phone market is dominated by foreign companies such as Apple, Huawei and Samsung, Reuters reported. These companies are facing new regulations in Russia this year that require them to install Russian software on their mobile phones.
The remarks by the US official about Moscow’s intention to attack Ukraine have been made while Russia has repeatedly stated that its military actions on the border with Ukraine are normal military actions, but the US and its allies continue to intend to tighten the conditions on Russia’s border with Ukraine.
The United States has said it’s serious about Russia’s movement on the border with Ukraine, while Washington and Kiev have recently told their European allies that the movement of troops on the border with Ukraine indicates Moscow’s new readiness to attack Ukraine.
