Trump has
been humiliated by Putin and now threatens to get tough by imposing tariffs
against Russia.
This is a
balloon full of hot air – all for show.
We do not
trade with Russia.
We do not
buy Russian goods.
We do not
sell goods to Russia.
Therefore: a
tariff against nothing equals nothing.
150% x 0 = 0
The Ol’Buzzard
That's true, but there is some speculation that Trump means to impose "secondary tariffs" on Russia, which is where the tariffs are not imposed directly on Russia but on countries which trade with Russia. This would induce those countries to trade less with Russia in order to have the secondary tariffs lifted, thereby hurting the Russian economy.
