MINSK, 15 May (BelTA) – The government should take retaliatory measures if the barriers to the export of Belarusian products are created in the West, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said during a visit to Minsk Tractor Works on 15 May, BelTA informs.
They (representatives of the western countries - BelTA) visit our country and I always advise them against such steps. We have told them: you fence off from us, we will fence off from you and see how you will trade via the Baltic states or Ukraine, the President said.
Alexander Lukashenko emphasized that even when Russia imposed the retaliatory sanctions on a number of western products, Belarus has never stopped cooperating with western suppliers.
