I wonder why...

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.

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 was fine with like 80% of Obama and like 60% of Clinton's actual policies while enjoying the economy that I don't credit him for. But then W Bush was like a 10% and Trump 1 maybe 10% (Warp Speed, passing the vast majority of Covid stimulus, ironically all the stuff he's against now) and I'm batting zero so far on Trump 2 but I assume at some point he'll do something I agree with.

Maybe, but apparently we're tariffing multiple uninhabited islands. It would seem that active trade is not a perquisite for tariffs these days. can't be having people move out there and not getting tariffed in the future.
I hope he puts tariffs on Mars next. Maybe after he falls out with musk.

As much as I despise Obama for vastly expanding our extrajudicial drone strike policy..... All things put into perspective, yeah he was pretty decent.

Trump is definitely a Russian asset.

wrote 10 days ago last edited byDownvoted because it’s wrong : We aren’t tariffing them because we aren’t trading with them.
So are some inhabited islands which are hit by tariffs. Maybe the dogshit stupid is the one not seeing the ties between trump and putin.

He slapped a 50% tarrif on Lesotho, so it's clearly not about size or impact.
And the UK got a 10% tariff applied even though the US doesn't have a goods trade deficit with them.

You can view this one of two ways, possibly both:
- Krasnov
- Trump apparently was doing these tariffs based on trade deficits (Which is stupid on its own, if your dentist doesn't buy the widgets you sell, that's not a tariff.), if Russia wasn't running one, then there you go.
To rebuke 2 I present the following- https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/russia-and-eurasia/russia
U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million, down 12.3 percent ($73.5 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024, down 34.2 percent ($1.6 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024, a 37.5 percent decrease ($1.5 billion) over 2023.
Based on that math, with the CNN article I linked for the formula we get - (2,500,000,000 / 3,000,000,000) * 1/2 = 0.416666...
So Russia should have a 41% tariff.

Un-fucking-real.
This presidency will be such a shit stain on the world. The world will never trust the U.S. in the same way it did before.
Over a century of trust and partnerships destroyed in less than 100 days.
