White House explains why Russia not included in Trump's new tariffs

Trump is calling his tariff policy "kind reciprocal," saying he could've been much harsher on US trading partners.

Of the 180 countries, including U.S. allies, that are now being hit with retaliatory tariffs, Russia isn't on the list.
Belarus, Cuba and North Korea, other countries that face US sanctions, also weren't hit with reciprocal tariffs.

So Trump imposes a 20% tariff on NATO countries but exempts Russia. Can any one that supports Trump explain that?
Trump also imposed tariffs on Ukraine while exempting Russia.


Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Axios Wednesday that Russia was left off because U.S. sanctions already "preclude any meaningful trade." However, the U.S. still trades more with Russia than with countries like Mauritius or Brunei that did make Trump's tariffs list.

  • Even remote island territories like Tokelau (pop. 1,500) in the South Pacific and Svalbard (pop. 2,500) in the Arctic Circle — territories of New Zealand and Norway, respectively —were listed for tariffs.

I could explain it with a couple of simple pictures, but nobody wants to see depictions of trump sucking Putin's schlong and getting reamed up the backside by him, so I'll just say "It's because trump is Putin's bitch" and leave it at that.

Your mindlessly regurgitated disinformation is summarily dismissed. Let's rewrite the above statement for honesty:

180 countries, including supposed U.S. "allies," who have been engaging in blatant trade predation with the US, are now being hit with totally fair and equalizing reciprocal tariffs, ... whereas trade between countries such as Russia, Cuba, Belarus and North Korea, who were not engaging in any unfair trade practices with the US, will remain unaffected.

That's funny. Tell us when the Heard and McDonald Islands engaged in unfair trade practices.
I can wait for you to tell us how those penguins were manipulating their currency against the US dollar.

Let me guess. You felt compelled to knee-jerk a response without being able to muster any energy to perform even a modicum of research.

Anyone not completely ignorant about roughly everything on the planet would know the completely common-knowledge answer to this question.

I'll give you a do-over and a chance to answer your own question ... and allow you the opportunity to make it look like you knew the easy, simple and straightforward answer all along. That's just the kind of guy I am. It's how I roll.

I can't wait to watch you backpedal on this one.

I see you have decided to simply avoid telling us why Trump imposed a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands for their unfair trade practices. Don't trip.

Nope. I have simply avoided telling you, for the moment. I'll gladly teach you the correct answer once you admit here on JPP that you are far too stupid to reasearch such easy and straightforward information.

I am giving you the opportunity to let everyone know that you need me to provide you with answers. Announce it.

Flexport's team was able to reverse engineer the formula the Administration used to generate the "reciprocal tariffs." It's quite simple, they took the trade deficit the US has with each country and divided it by our imports from that country. The chart below shows the predictions of this formula plotted against the actual new tariff rates.

Why does nobody speak of the tariffs they impose on us as if they are inconsequential?

What's really funny about you MAGAT cultists is that until your #MalignantMessiah began his tirades about tariffs, you had absolutely no idea that when you bought something made elsewhere, that a tariff was attached, did you?

Who gives a shit? If a person in Beijing buys a made-in-America cap on which his govt. has imposed a 20% tariff, HE pays that tariff. It doesn't affect either you or the hat maker. Ditto for when you buy a pair of shoes made in Vietnam that Trump has put a 20% tariff on. YOU pay that extra 20%. This whole trade war shit is nonsense and is jacking up the world's economies. Enjoy your pain. It's going to get even worse.
