          Do you understand that sanctions applied are prohibitions? You and the other downvoters… Why would you apply tariffs if you cant sell or buy? Brains people!

            This comment implies that you can buy and sell with an uninhabited island…

            You’re not serious, right? This is a bit?

          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.””

            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.

                Iran, Syria.

                And what do you think “zero” means, exactly?
