Russia Not on US Tariff List Despite Broad Global Reach | Sweden Herald
-
The US has been sanctioning Russia for the better part of the last decade. We aren't tariffing them because we aren't trading with them.
We also aren't tariffing Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea, for the same reasons.

I wondered the same thing. Why would you add tariffs if it's illegal to even trade with them?
wrote 13 days ago last edited byOne wouldn't, which makes all the Krasnov comments in this situation entertaining.

Guys I think there's some evidence that this is, shall we say, Russia friendly (such as the astronomical tariff rate on Moldova of all places), but Russia isn't included because it's a "Column 2" country alongside Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea, and therefore all subject to the stiff tariffs we already impose on the worst of the worst. Please let's not share things like this which just make us look gullable to the morons on the right supporting this buffoon. It's not a good look.

Krasnov strikes again! Until there is evidence to counter this theory, it satisfies Occam's Razor.

Do people not realize there is no US Russia trade so tariffs would be moot.

So is that trading economics website just BS, then?

So US imposed tariff on penguins, but 0 on Russia!

Russia remains a key supplier of resources critical to U.S. industry (titanium, palladium, uranium). While technically replaceable, developing alternative sources would take years. This makes the current moment less than ideal for imposing higher tariffs on Russia, particularly when the priority is to reindustrialize the U.S.
wrote 13 days ago last edited byI find it funny than instead of at least imposing 10% tariff by default on Russia and selectively exempt critical resources. Russian wasn't listed at all.
Even an unoccupied island got 10% tariff by default.

1st someone is much more likely to vote something up or down depending on how positive / negative it is. So it snowballs sort of like compounding interest
2nd the simplest most common denominator takes bubble to the top. Precisely because more people can understand and therefore vote.
It's why you'll always see some screenshot of Twitter much higher than a long in depth article. Even though the article has infinitely more value.

Trump is definitely a Russian asset.
wrote 13 days ago last edited byAnd Putin isn't a U.S. asset? While both countries are geopolitical adversaries, their military and strategic moves have ironically helped sustain each other's defense industries; just not in a cooperative way.

Well, why should Agent Krasnov put tariffs on the hand that feeds him, good old Vlad?

That’s an absurdly low bar.
wrote 13 days ago last edited byYes but look at the people who becomes US presidents. The bar needs to be low or none of them can reach it.
