Russia was not included in the countries hit by Trump’s tariff. The press secretary say it’s because previous sanction “preclude any meaningful trade,” but other countries that do even less trade, such as Syria, were on the list.

The US imposed large-scale sanctions on Russia after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Trump has generally taken a friendlier approach to Russia since his return to the White House.
I swear . . . .
It would be REALLY GREAT if you could GET IT corporate news! ANY TIME NOW OK THANK YOU
“Well, Trump, you just put a tariff on every fictional and real country on earth, except Russia. Now what?”
This is some 6D chess move: if you can’t remove sanctions on Russia, how about adding sanctions to everyone else until it doesn’t matter?
I don’t know, let me ask Vlad!
wow, not even the blanket 10% ?
10% cash back bonus
Russian puppet didn’t put tarrifs on his puppet masters? What a surprise!

But Cuba is also not on the list
uh? i assume /s, they got embargo
With the sanctions we have do we even still buy stuff from them? There are other places on the list we don’t buy stuff from either so that’s no excuse. Just wondering
Yes, $3bn worth last year.
Krasnov Tariffnik
This is because Russia already has sanctions, it’s also why Cuba isn’t on the list.
Syria also has sanctions, has less trade with the U.S. than Russia and is on the list.
Why are uninhabited islands on the list?
I have no fucking idea lol.
Myanmar, Syria, Venezuela, Libya and Pakistan are all under one or more forms of US sanctions - yet are on the tariff list. Sorry . . until proven otherwise, there is no other logical explanation for the “friends of Vlad” being excluded except . . . the orange one is also a friend of Vlad.
Aye I mean I have no idea wtf is going on I kinda doubt anyone does right now. It certainly doesn’t help his case in not being a Russian asset, I’m just trying to find some sense in this shitfuckery.
Has America even given a reason to be given the benefit of the doubt on anything since the asset to Russia came into power?
I mean, who the fuck do you think is running this shitshow?
We have so much meaningful trade with those uninhabited islands he tariffed
Everyone makes jokes like it’s funny but it bears repeating in a serious tone.
Trump either is a Russian asset, or has been successfully manipulated by Russian assets for many years. Whichever one it is doesn’t even matter that much because their level of control is so significant.
No, he’s not just “Trump being Trump“ or some coincidence, it’s a specific pattern with a plethora of supporting evidence. This news is an extra grain of sand stacked on mountain. All by itself, the unexplainable appointment of Russian agent Tulsi Gabbard to head of US intelligence should be proof enough.
The rest of the world needs to take this seriously even if the American voters don’t. The evidence demands that countries should stop intelligence cooperation, and should move with haste to remove American equipment from areas of critical infrastructure and national security. Amongst other things.
That’s a big problem and nontrivial to accomplish but we can’t deal with it by laughing and being smug about how dumb Americans are.
The other Five Eyes countries would do well to be extremely careful about what they share with the USA these days. And if they have the ability, they should plant specific information with the USA only, and see whether Russia acts on it.
El Salvador is on the list despite the salvadoran fascist president licking trumps asshole
