One country was left off the list entirely. Russia. The most recent figures for 2023 (meaning the second year of the invasion of Ukraine) indicate that the U.S. exported $595 million to Russia — the top products were vaccines, blood, toxins, and cultures — and Russia exported $4.87 billion to the United States — the top product was “radioactive chemicals.” You would think that a president who hates trade deficits would be more bothered by that ratio. https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/trumps-totally-arbitrary-tariff-regime/
