There's also a much stronger possibility that Trump simply didn't want to piss off Putin.

Why are you trying to find a more complicated answer?

Or, much more simply, Trump didn't want to make Putin mad.

FFS people, sanctioned countries were not included

Yeah, sanctioned countries didn't make the list.

Iran and Syria made the list.

Why do you assume it's fear that motivates people to use language that's inclusive of trans and non-binary people?

Iran, Syria.

And what do you think "zero" means, exactly?

This comment implies that you can buy and sell with an uninhabited island...

You're not serious, right? This is a bit?

For what? If you cant trade why? Jizus fcking christ

That's exactly what I'm asking you...

If the answer is "because sanctions" then explain why other countries that are sanctioned by the US still got hit with tariffs?

Russia is "not on this list because sanctions from the Ukraine war have already rendered trade between the two countries as zero.""

And yet the US imported over $3B from Russia just last year. Which is to say, the white house lied (again).

And the other countries that have sanctions but still got tariffs?

Well that's because the phrase is "blowing smoke up my ass" not "blowing hot air up my ass". You're probably mixing it up with someone being "full of hot air".

It comes from an actual medical procedure way back in the day where doctors would, well, blow smoke up your ass.
