They forged it.

I wondered the same thing. Why would you add tariffs if it's illegal to even trade with them?

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.

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.
I 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.

Systems that have voting mechanisms result in hive minds. It's an inevitable result.
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.

Do you have a source for this? I checked https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypxnnyg7jo but cannot find this.

That’s an absurdly low bar.
Yes but look at the people who becomes US presidents. The bar needs to be low or none of them can reach it.

Some people are saying that this is cause Trump likes us.
Now that is a lie. He only likes himself and Ivanka.

Look at section 3(a) of the executive order linked here, at the portion discussing "column 2":
