    For what? If you cant trade why? Jizus fcking christ

    “Following Trump’s Rose Garden announcement, a White House official told NOTUS’ Jasmine Wright that Russia is “not on this list because sanctions from the Ukraine war have already rendered trade between the two countries as zero.””

      Sanctions doesn’t mean you can’t trade with a sanctioned country. The US never stopped trading with Russia.

      That’s exactly what I’m asking you…

      If the answer is “because sanctions” then explain why other countries that are sanctioned by the US still got hit with tariffs?

      Russia is “not on this list because sanctions from the Ukraine war have already rendered trade between the two countries as zero.”"

      And yet the US imported over $3B from Russia just last year. Which is to say, the white house lied (again).

        What countries with sanctions? In 2024 the transactions between us and Russia went down 2,481.4 Million dollars relative to 2023 when the war already had began. 526M in exports and 3000M in imports, maybe this data tells you what you need to know

          I don’t see how that is relevant to the question of, ‘if other sanctioned countries are being tariffed why is Russia not tariffed’ and ‘we still traded with tariffed countries including Russia so why is Russia treated different’.

          I mean these questions are largely rhetorical, we know why. The fact that we buy less from Russia is first of all you moving the goal posts from assuming we didn’t trade with them, and second not related to why countries are tarrifed.

            You havent tell me a country, outside Russia, that is santionated too so its a tie ^^ Look, im not defending Trump or his administration, first of all im an European, second i couldnt care less about those tariffs because i think they will affect a lot more the Americans than the rest of world but it makes me sick people going mad over this when there is a lot of worst more problems to talk about, talking about this is going to the basic, its like talk to a simp (not your case, not insulting you or try to)
