    The tariffs are on imports, not exports.

    Rules of origin usually work on where it’s manufactured, not where it came from – https://www.trade.gov/identify-and-apply-rules-origin

    There are a bunch of sanctions on Russia, which prevent a lot of goods being transferred anyways.

    Russia is also being sanctioned by the rest of the world, so it gets really weird and gross when you think about it.

    Because of the tariff situation, that is a viable option, but to do so, they would need to loosen up the sanctions, which would Russia would benefit from. Remember that Russia is still being punished for their invasion and on going war in Ukraine.

    Does the US even trade with Russia? Thought we had an embargo on them

    Maybe you mean export their goods through Russia? Tariffs are based on country of origin, but I can imagine Russia cheating.

    The U.S. doesn’t need tariffs against Russia. The sanctions that in place pretty much ban all trade.

    No because Russia is super sanctioned

    Tariffs only affect the things being brought into the US, not products from the US being sent to other countries. Not to mention the fact that most other countries have sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine.

    The sanctions on Russia are enough to kill their economy. Wasn’t really a need to put tariffs on them when we’re going to use something far more powerful.

    Your question fails to understand tariffs. No tariffs on Russia means if the USA buys something from Russia, they don’t have to pay a tax or tariff. Also, no tariffs on Russia means Russia doesn’t put tariffs on imports he USA. This basically means that USA and Russia don’t tax any goods or work from each other.
