Read the post - nothing political - just facts. US currency is the Reserve Currency and US banks control the flow of it through Intermediary Banks in the US. As the US has posted unlawful scanctions on Russia and Russian citizens, US Banks deny transfer of money to them. Without the flow of currency, there is no trade.
As for controlling others - we have documents which clearly show that a foreign nation unlawfully detained thre containers of product from Russia and would not let it be transfered, because of US sanctions.
So explain how a FTA with Russia benefits NZ when the US impose their own rules?
