Why It Matters
Participants at the Republican Party convention in Dallas discussed the possible resumption of trade with the Russian Federation.
Trade with Russia would be beneficial to the United States and could help lower prices for gasoline and other goods, Hector Miguel Cabildo, who works in the field of international trade, told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the Republican Party election convention in Dallas.
"Russia is known to be one of the world's largest suppliers of diesel fuel, high-speed diesel and petroleum products... This will help with lower gasoline prices. This will help with goods in general," he said.
Other congress participants also did not oppose trade with Russia.
“Honestly, I have no problem with trade with Russia,” noted Nick, one of those present.
He added that he feels sympathy for the country because his parents are from Russia.
Most respondents, however, would like to first see the end of the conflict in Ukraine and only then talk about resuming trade relations.
“But let’s stop the conflict first (in Ukraine - ed.),” said Deborah, a Texas resident who came to the convention with her husband.
Earlier, American congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna told RIA Novosti that the end of the Ukrainian conflict will open up great opportunities for cooperation between Russia and the United States, including in trade and space.
Open Questions
- When exactly can trade relations resume?
- How will the party leadership react to such statements?
