Guess Who Escaped Trump’s Tariffs
We really didn’t need further proof of Trump’s weird alliance with Putin, but here it is: Yesterday he imposed new tariffs on Ukraine — but not Russia.
The White House tried to explain it away by claiming that we have no “meaningful” trade with Russia since the sanctions were imposed. But the U.S. still trades more with Russia (worth $3.5 billion) than with countries like Mauritius or Brunei that did make Trump’s tariffs list.
Rolling Stone: “Trump announced the imposition of a significant tariff on the uninhabited Australian territory Heard and McDonald Islands — a remote outpost populated only by penguins and other Antarctic wildlife”.
