Original Note:
Trade between Russia and the USA isn't large enough to have tariffs make much difference. https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/russia-and-eurasia/russia Those figures are from 2022, they were lower in 2023 and 24 due to heavy sanctions on Russia. https://www.globalwitness.org/en/blog/ukraine-putin-gas-and-sanctions-faqs/ Tariffs are paid by the receiving country and consumers, not a foreign state. https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/who-pays-tariffs
