Latvia Imposes 300% Tariff on Russian, Belarusian Grain; Baltic Ports Affected

Latvia's PM Andris Kulbergs announced a 300% tariff on grain imports from Russia and Belarus, a sharp escalation in Baltic trade restrictions. The move responds to intensified grain transit through Baltic ports following attacks on Ukrainian ports, aiming to curb Russian revenue and protect local infrastructure. The tariff's implementation and EU alignment remain uncertain, but it signals growing regional pressure on Russian agricultural exports.
