President Trump said Monday that Russia hasn’t seen any tariffs because “we’re not doing business essentially with Russia.”
Russia was not on the receiving end of any tariffs from the United States, along with North Korea and Cuba, according to the list revealed last week.
More than one liberal commentator noted this and took it as “proof” that Mr. Trump is a puppet, or at best an admirer, of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.
“Because they’re in a war and I’m not happy about what’s going on with the bombing,” he said in the Oval Office beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “They’re bombing like crazy right now, they’re bombing, I don’t know what’s going on right now. That’s not a good situation.”
He said “we’re getting sort of close” to ending the war after meeting with both Ukraine and Russia.
“It’s a horrible thing,” he said.
