Local media say Moscow's absence is "to the disappointment of many in the West" One country that did not feature on Donald Trump's list of tariffs on US trade partners was Russia. US outlet Axios quoted, external White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as saying this was because existing US sanctions on Russia "preclude any meaningful trade" and noting that Cuba, Belarus and North Korea were also not included.
Main Idea: Donald Trump left Russia off his new tariff list, with the White House saying existing sanctions already limit trade.
Key Points:
Trump’s tariff moves could raise prices and add more market swings for US households and small businesses.
Russia’s exclusion from the tariff list may keep direct US-Russia trade and inflation effects limited for now.
