🚨 BREAKING: Russia Excluded from U.S. Tariff List 🇷🇺🇺🇸
In a surprising decision, the U.S. has left Russia out of its latest round of tariffs! While countries like China, the UK, Japan, and Ukraine are facing new trade restrictions, Russia managed to avoid them. But why? 🤔
The Reason Behind It
According to the White House, there’s barely any significant trade left between the U.S. and Russia due to existing sanctions. In fact, trade volume has plummeted from $35 billion in 2021 to just $3.5 billion in 2024—a staggering decline! 📉
Since there aren’t many Russian goods left in the U.S. market, imposing additional tariffs wouldn’t make much of a difference. The same reasoning applies to Cuba, Belarus, and North Korea, which were also left off the tariff list.
Other Countries Face Higher Tariffs 🔥
Meanwhile, several other nations are feeling the impact of these new U.S. trade measures:
Ukraine: 10% tariff increase
Kazakhstan: 27% tariff hike
Moldova: 31% tariff increase
The U.S. government claims these tariffs are aimed at protecting American jobs and industries.
