PRISTINA: Kosovo on Friday eliminated tariffs on all goods from the United States, a day after President Donald Trump unveiled new tariffs on trading partners across the globe but not on Pristina.
The Balkan nation had applied a 10% tariff on US goods and its goods are subject to the baseline 10% tariff that the Trump administration imposed in April.
&#8220;Kosovo welcomes American products to its market,&#8221; said Kosovo&#8217;s caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti, announcing the 0% tariff on US goods.
&#8220;We strongly believe that this will affect the growth of trade exchange and increase investments,&#8221; he told his cabinet.
Public sentiment in the landlocked territory of around 1.6 million people has been strongly pro-American since a 1999 US-led Nato air campaign that stopped the crackdown of Serbian armed forces on ethnic Albanians and paved the way for Kosovo&#8217;s declaration of independence from Serbia a decade later.
US flags are common in the capital, Pristina, where one of the largest avenues honours former president George W. Bush, while Bill Clinton has both a boulevard named after him and a statue in his honour.
