Recognition of Soviet Russia Sets Stage for Peers’ Trade Shifts
The United States recognizes Soviet Russia amid a history of strong trade ties and rivalry. US exports to Russia fell in 1932 due to machinery declines while imports from Russia held steady in noncompetitive goods. Officials say Russia remains a vigorous rival in oil and agricultural markets and a potential future competitor in cotton, copper, and iron and steel. International reaction praised the move as a step toward peace, with comments from Moscow, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Mexico noting diplomatic implications.
