russia doesn’t get hit with trump tariffs because white house says us doesn’t trade with russia (because of the war).
not true: us-russia trade is presently about $3b a year.
which doesn’t sound like much until you realize the united states also just hit lesotho with 50% tariffs…and their entire gdp is just over $2b.
