    Yeah, it’s hard to put a tariff on a country that you have already sanctioned and don’t trade with at all. But that fact doesn’t play well here.

      The US has 3.5 billion in trade with Russia. The tariffs include Iran; Venezuela, etc… they also slapped them on countries which we have a trade surplus with.

      It’s also looking like they used chatgpt to write the list but then specifically omitted five countries. Russia, north korea, Cuba, Belarus. Russia and its fine closest allies. How can anyone see this and not think the Kremlin does t own the Epstein tapes

        In terms of nations, I really have no idea what 3.5 billion means. Like is that a lot? I feel like we probably trade that much with China in like what, a week? A month, a day?

          He tariffed countries with no people and trade deficits of thousands of dollars, and tariffed Ukraine.
