April 7, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Donald Trump administration\u2019s new tariffs can be interpreted as a “black swan event,” Belarusian Prime Minister Alaksandar Tur\u010dyn told the state-run Belarus 1<\/em> yesterday, commenting on the unpredictability of the move and its outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only \u201ctime will show\u201d how the US tariffs will affect the Belarusian economy, the official noted. Tur\u010dyn, appointed as the head of the government less than a month ago, is known for his awareness of the black swan theory, which focuses on the disproportionate role of hard-to-predict and rare events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new US tariffs have had little effect on the Eurasian region, analysts from the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) said earlier, yet warned about potential indirect negative effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reciprocal tariffs introduced by US President Trump on April 2 affected 180 countries, including almost all former Soviet republics and war-torn Ukraine, except Belarus and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia was left out of the list because US sanctions already \u201cpreclude any meaningful trade,\u201d while Cuba, Belarus and North Korea were not included because existing tariffs and sanctions on them are already high, said White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
