Summary

Russia was excluded from Trump’s sweeping tariff list due to existing U.S. sanctions that limit trade, White House officials claimed.

Despite lower trade volumes, countries like Syria were still included, prompting skepticism.

Trump has prioritized ending the war in Ukraine and threatened 50% tariffs on nations buying Russian oil. Russian state media framed the omission as sanctions-based, not favoritism, with some mocking Trump’s harsher stance on allies.

Ukraine, meanwhile, faces a 10% tariff despite the country’s strategic partnership with the U.S.

    Claiming that Trump is constantly kissing Putin’s ass isn’t a conspiracy. It’s not even a secret…

    Sure, whatever you need to believe with no evidence to support it

    So where’s your evidence that the list of countries was generated by AI?

      There’s a pretty comprehensive article on The Verge outlining the likelihood of it bring probable.

                Right, because even though we both know you were wrong, you’re too fragile to admit it.

                  Not fragile. I really do recall seeing an article about this, and digging into finding it to show that I was only wrong admit the citation and not the content of the comment and my heart. But thats a chore and I’m putting off spending time doing that.

                    Trust me bro, I was right, I just don’t feel like proving it.

                    Fragile little ego. So pathetic.

            Come on, it’s not that long. You must have seen how utterly wrong you are by now.

            Lol the irony…

            Of course I know what article you were talking about. Go ahead and read it again and then quote me where it says anything about generating a list of countries that somehow leaves out Russia.
