WASHINGTON – The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) today released its 2024 Report on the Implementation and Enforcement of Russia’s World Trade Organization (WTO) Commitments.
This report was prepared pursuant to section 201 of the Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-208).
In 2024, U.S.-Russia trade relations continued to be governed in large part by the imposition of severe sanctions by the United States and its partners and allies in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which the United States continues to condemn as unjustifiable and unprovoked.
As a consequence of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, the United States has ceased virtually all engagement with Russia on trade and investment issues, either bilaterally or at the WTO. USTR will continue to consult with domestic stakeholders, monitor Russia’s actions, and, as appropriate, endeavor to encourage Russia to meet its WTO commitments.
Background
This report was prepared pursuant to section 201 of the Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-208), which requires the U.S. Trade Representative to submit a report to the Committee on Finance of the U.S. Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the U.S. House of Representatives describing the commitments that Russia made upon entering the World Trade Organization on August 12, 2012, and assessing the extent to which Russia has implemented those commitments after 11 years of WTO membership.
