The Foreign Ministry responded to the threat of a ban on the supply of smartphones from the United States

If the US imposes restrictions on the export of smartphones and car parts to Russia, Western countries may suffer more losses than Moscow. This was stated by the Director of the Department of Economic Cooperation of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Birichevsky in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to Birichevsky, the information that the United States is discussing the possibility of imposing a ban on the supply of smartphones, parts for aircraft, cars and other products to Russia was considered an example of "militant rhetoric" in the department.

“I believe that it is completely unknown whose losses in this case will be greater - Russian producers and consumers, or still American exporters, whose opportunities for presence in our market will once again be limited by their own authorities,” he said.

Birichevsky noted that such measures do not comply with the rules and regulations of the WTO and "undermine the foundations of the international trading system."
