Russia was not included in the countries hit by Trump’s tariff. The press secretary say it’s because previous sanction “preclude any meaningful trade,” but other countries that do even less trade, such as Syria, were on the list.
This is because Russia already has sanctions, it’s also why Cuba isn’t on the list.
Myanmar, Syria, Venezuela, Libya and Pakistan are all under one or more forms of US sanctions - yet are on the tariff list. Sorry . . until proven otherwise, there is no other logical explanation for the “friends of Vlad” being excluded except . . . the orange one is also a friend of Vlad.
Aye I mean I have no idea wtf is going on I kinda doubt anyone does right now. It certainly doesn’t help his case in not being a Russian asset, I’m just trying to find some sense in this shitfuckery.
Has America even given a reason to be given the benefit of the doubt on anything since the asset to Russia came into power?
Why are uninhabited islands on the list?
I have no fucking idea lol.
Syria also has sanctions, has less trade with the U.S. than Russia and is on the list.
