Trump’s Tariffs Exempt Russia, Fueling Speculation on U.S.-Russia Relations
While President Donald Trump’s sweeping new tariffs hit over 70 countries, Russia was notably absent from the list—raising questions about his approach to Moscow. The White House insists U.S.-Russia trade is already minimal due to existing sanctions, but critics argue that even smaller economies faced tariffs.
As Trump declared “Liberation Day,” Russian President Vladimir Putin unfroze Goldman Sachs assets in Russia, and a key Russian economic envoy arrived in the U.S. Analysts suggest this could signal a push for economic cooperation between Washington and Moscow, despite the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Some experts speculate that Trump’s stance may be part of a broader geopolitical strategy, possibly aimed at driving a wedge between Russia and China. Others warn that the emerging alignment of the U.S., Russia, and China—despite differing goals—could reshape the global order, challenging Europe’s role on the world stage.
