Russia not on Trump's tariff list

US media quotes the White House press secretary as saying this is because of sanctions on Moscow.

Summary

Russia was excluded from Trump’s sweeping tariff list due to existing U.S. sanctions that limit trade, White House officials claimed.

Despite lower trade volumes, countries like Syria were still included, prompting skepticism.

Trump has prioritized ending the war in Ukraine and threatened 50% tariffs on nations buying Russian oil. Russian state media framed the omission as sanctions-based, not favoritism, with some mocking Trump’s harsher stance on allies.

Ukraine, meanwhile, faces a 10% tariff despite the country’s strategic partnership with the U.S.

    Yeah, sanctioned countries didn’t make the list. It’s that simple.

    Did Somalia make the list either? No. Same reason.

        Yeah, and these people are idiots that can’t do anything right. There’s as many sanctioned countries accidentally included as there are islands inhabited entirely by penguins.
