A White House official, speaking to The New York Times on condition of anonymity, explained that Cuba, Belarus, North Korea, and Russia were not impacted by Trump’s tariffs because “they are already facing extremely high tariffs.” He added that existing sanctions prevent any full-scale trade with these countries.

Notably, a 10% tariff will be applied to goods from Ukraine.

    Right, right, we could tariff the penguins and catastrophically tariff nations that depend on our trade, but due to complicated reasons, not Russia and friends.
