President Trump said the U.S. would impose 100 percent secondary tariffs on countries that trade with Russia if Moscow does not agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine in the next 50 days.

    I was referring to US trade with Russia, which would be the trade subject to US tariffs, which is what this thread is about.

    US exports to Russia in 2024: about $500M. Imports from Russia (which would be impacted by the tariffs): around $3 Bn. In nation-state terms, that’s back-of-the-sofa money.

    By comparison, US imports from the EU that same year were a little over $600 Bn.
