Putin:19 US poultry producers barred from Russia

TBILISI — Vladimir Putin says 19 U.S. poultry producers will be barred from exporting their products to Russia.

The former president of Russia and now the country's prime minister says the move has nothing to do with tension over the recent war in Georgia and was purely economic.

He told CNN in an interview Thursday that the unnamed American producers had ignored warnings from Russian inspectors who examined poultry companies last year. He said another 29 producers would receive warnings.

Russia is an important market for American poultry producers.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
