Russia is not on Trump's tariff list
-
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.

All that time and money invested in agent Krasnov is really paying off.

Cuba, Belarus and North Korea were also not included
At least they're being consistent. If Biden had excluded those countries from some global economic policy, I wouldn't be suspicious.

Julius Rosenberg (May 12, 1918 – June 19, 1953) and Ethel Rosenberg (née Greenglass; September 28, 1915 – June 19, 1953) were an American married couple who were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union, including providing top-secret information about American radar, sonar, jet propulsion engines, and nuclear weapon designs. Convicted of espionage in 1951, they were executed by the federal government of the United States in 1953 using New York's state execution chamber in Sing Sing in Ossining,[1] New York

Shocked I say. Shocked that Putin's puppet is not putting Tariffs on someone that is trying to take over another country.

It's probably dumber than you think why they weren't on there. The formula they used to come up with the countries tarrifs rate is
based simply on trade deficit calculations. So if you aren't exporting/importing from those countries they wouldn't be included. It doesn't even matter if there was a trade surplus.Sources:

And a whole nation's gotta take it in the behind for this. Classic king of the hill stuff.

This can't explain the exclusion of Russia, since the entirely uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands got their own entry on the list. There cannot be a trade balance with a place where nobody lives. The islands got the "base rate" of 10%, so for Russia to have been excluded there has to have been another reason

Honestly they probably plugged it into Grok and asked it to spit out the list of countries to tariff.

I don't see how that's related to excluding particular countries.

Funny you bring up that couple, because the lack of standards has a through line here.
A man named Roy Cohn was the prosecutor, and he wheeled and dealed to make sure that both Rosenbergs got the death penalty, even if the evidence was a bit weak, especially the evidence against Ethel. Cohn got witnesses to change their story so that he could push to kill Ethel.
Cohn then went on to help Joseph McCarthy run the Red, and Lavender Scares.
And then, later still, Roy Cohn would tutor Donald Trump in the art of personally attacking anyone who tried to enforce the law against him.

Yeah, sanctioned countries didn't make the list. It's that simple.
Did Somalia make the list either? No. Same reason.

FFS people, sanctioned countries were not included. Somalia, Burkina Faso....also not included.
Let them deal in baseless conspiracy. Please deal in fact here.

However, nations with even less trade with the US - such as Syria, which exported $11m of products last year according to UN data quoted by Trading Economics - were on the list.
According to the Office of the US Trade Representative, the US imported goods from Russia worth $3.5bn (£2.7bn) in 2024. It mainly consisted of fertilisers, nuclear fuel and some metals, according to Trading Economics and Russian media.

It wasn't because of sanctions or not doing any trade with Russia, this bears repeating from the article:
