Does the US have some kind of embargo on Russia like Cuba?

Question

or Russia on the US?

I don't much about our relationship with them, but that I believe there are still remnants of tension left over from the Cold War.

I ask because I haven't really seen products here from that country.

If I be wrong, what do we import from them and what to we export?

Answer 1

While there is certainly no embargo on Russia, there are some limits still on high technology transfers.

     In terms of not seeing any products from Russia; what would you expect to see? If you live on the east coast, you'll see Lukoil gasoline stations; this is Russian. Don't expect to see cars or planes; these don't meet standards for safety, pollution or noise in the US.

    Steel, titanium and aluminum are all imported into the US from Russia. As far as finished goods go; the Russian products are often inferior in quality to imported goods and are often shunned by Russians themselves in favor of imported goods, but there are plenty of raw materials from Russia that you already have within things you own; you are just not aware of them.

Answer 2

Not anymore.  They even lifted it from N. Korea even though there are still human rights violations.

The US pretends it doesn't commit Human Rights Violations even though it has kidnapped 23,000 people and is torturing them around the world.

Answer 3

blow them up

Answer 4

No we  gave them billions of dollars after the fall of the Soviet Union in attempt to safeguard all their nukes. You can see in the UN how we are repaid

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

No there is not an embargo. The embargo is not because of the Cold War, but because Cuba is still a communist country, Russia used to be but is now not. The only reason you don't see many russian products is because everything is made in third world countries or china.
