Russia tariff question

[winn dixie]

It's been reported russia is not on the tariff list.
Point blank....

WHY IS THAT?

He only had about 25 companies on the list he showed in the Rose Garden WD. Trump's imposing a minimum 10% tariff on all countries. Russia's will be that or higher.

For the majority of countries it will be a lot higher than 10%. Cambodia will be 49%, Vietnam 46%, and Bangladesh 37%. I guess this is part of Trump's master plan to kill people in third world countries. He got a good start by cutting off medical aid with "0" notice. So NGO's and other countries and the aid recipients themselves didn't have time to adjust. There are already people with HIV and the like dying because of that.

They're brown people. He wants them gone. It's a final concept of an idea of a solution.

So does Putin. So of course Trump does too.

It was mentioned on the radio this afternoon that Russia is not on the list because the US does not trade or do business with Russia.

Cannot collect tariffs for material goods that do not enter the US.

Practically, that's true. Bloomberg published a list of reciprocal tariffs for about 140 countries this evening. Russia, Cuba and North Korea are not on it. Iran (10% minimum rate) and Venezuela (15%) are.

pretty much. trade with Russia has dropped an order of magnitude down to a mere 3.5 b from 2021 and i'm pretty sure we know why



First, U.S.-Russia trade flows in goods are small, only about $3.5 billion in 2024 and $36 billion in 2021. In comparison, total trade in goods between Canada and the United States reached $762 billion in 2024

Yes, they're a drop in the bucket Waco Kid. While I hate Liberation Day, I believe that what Trump's trying to do with Russia and Ukraine, which would increase said trade flows, is very positive. And hopefully his income tax policy and deregulation will cushion the blow of the tariffs.

He's risking his legacy on a bad bet.

He is risking his legacy on counting on the American People not to fall for the lies, distortions, gas lighting, and mayhem caused by the Left and their willing Lackeys in the Main Stream Media.

Trump Derangement Syndrome dictates that regardless of how well things will be, they must oppose any and everything that President Trump does.

His legacy? LOL! I’d say he’s already cemented his legacy.

Please post your list of symptoms for Trump Derangement Syndrome, Jacky! I want to get the vaccine. LOLLING!
