The US is secretly encouraging companies to increase purchases of Russian fertilizers – Bloomberg

The American government is secretly encouraging agricultural and transport companies to increase their purchases of Russian fertilizers.

This is happening in the context of the sanctions in force against Moscow and the rapid rise in food prices.

About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to the Bloomberg agency, which in turn refers to its own sources.

The material notes that such steps by the US authorities are only part of the “complex and difficult negotiations” that are taking place with the participation of the UN.

What concerns the negotiation process is stimulating an increase in the supply of grain and other products from the agricultural sector of Russia and Ukraine.

Attention is also drawn to the fact that this year the export of Russian fertilizers to Western countries decreased by 24%.

By the way, last week the sanctions coordinator of the US State Department, Jim O’Brien, announced Washington’s plans to manually remove obstacles to the supply of Russian food and fertilizers to the states of the “global south.”

According to him, sanctions for such actions do not pose an obstacle.
