Days after Trump unveiled a new set of steep tariffs, Russia on Monday responded to the US administration for increasing tariffs and imposing sanctions on the country, accusing the government of using “neocolonial” policy against specific countries to maintain Washington’s hegemony.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in a statement, said no tariff wars or sanctions “can halt the natural course of history”. Calling sanctions and restrictions a “regrettable reality” of today’s historical stage that affects the entire world, she said that the US is unable to come to terms with the “loss of hegemony in the emerging world order.”

“Sanctions and restrictions have unfortunately become a defining feature of the current historical period, impacting countries across the globe. Unable to accept the erosion of its dominance in an emerging multipolar international order, Washington continues to pursue a neocolonial agenda, employing politically motivated economic pressure against those who choose an independent course on the international stage,” she said.

Russia asserted in its statement that “no tariff wars or sanctions can halt the natural course of history.” Zakharova further said that Russia will deepen in cooperation with countries of the Global South, and resist the “unlawful unilateral sanctions.”

In that case Russia has nothing to worry about, so they can stop complaining about it
