OREANDA-NEWS  In March 2025, the trade turnover between Russia and the United States increased sharply by 1.5 times, reaching a maximum value of 573 million dollars in two years. RIA Novosti writes about this based on an analysis of data from the American statistical service.

As follows from the material, the jump was due to a 1.5-fold increase in Russian exports. Experts attributed this dynamic to an increase in American fertilizer imports to $219 million, as well as the purchase of $87.5 million worth of platinum, $6 million worth of plywood, and $5 million worth of phosphates by the United States.

At the same time, shipments from the United States remained at the level of February, amounting to $ 50 million. During this period, Russia purchased $14.8 million worth of vaccines from the American side, $6.2 million worth of medical instruments, $5.7 million worth of food, and $3.7 million worth of analytical instruments.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump threatened to stifle Russia's trade by imposing high duties on all goods shipped to the United States and other countries. In his opinion, these measures should force the Russian authorities to conclude a peace deal on Ukraine.
