๐จ BIG NEWS!: ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ธ Russia is not included in the United States list of countries being hit with tariffs๐ฅ
In a surprising turn, the United States has left Russia out of its new round of tariffs! While countries like China, the UK, Japan, and even Ukraine got hit with new trade restrictions, Russia dodged the bullet. Why? ๐ค
According to the White House, there's simply no "meaningful trade" left between the U.S. and Russia due to existing sanctions. In fact, trade between the two countries has already plummeted from $35 billion in 2021 to just $3.5 billion in 2024! ๐
That means the U.S. sees no point in adding tariffs on Russian goodsโbecause, well, there arenโt many left to tax! Cuba, Belarus, and North Korea were also left out for the same reason.
Meanwhile, other countries are feeling the heat ๐ฅ. New tariffs include 10% on Ukrainian goods, 27% on Kazakh imports, and 31% on Moldovan products. The U.S. government says it's all about protecting American jobs and industries.
