Dotard threatens Putin with tariffs?

wtf

What imports from Russia? Even in normal times… what… caviar and nested dolls? It’s a true shithole country, with little of value to offer the us.

Actually. Oil, building supplies, machine parts, lumber.

Trump realistically can't tariff both Canada and Russia. This may work out for Canada.

Russia accounts for 1% of US imports… ranked # 22. They are dependent on China, India and the EU. Their relevance to the US as a trade partner is basically nil, which makes tariff policy pointless. Now, they might feel the sting if Dotard causes a global economic slow down and the Chinese economy slows and reduces their imports of oil and timber.

which is why sanctions are and should be the weapon of choice in dealing with Russia, not tariffs.

But Trump is a fucking moron...so yeah, he'll probably try to replace the sanctions with tariffs.
