Demand to know why Russia was excluded from Trump’s recent global tariffs Text SIGN PYFIYU to 50409 — The exclusion of Russia from the sweeping global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration raises serious concerns. Trade between the U.S. and Russia has declined significantly in recent years due to sanctions imposed after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. However, Russia still conducts more trade with the U.S. than certain smaller countries that were included in the tariff list. This inconsistency demands an explanation. While the White House claims sanctions already ensure negligible trade with Russia, Trump has simultaneously threatened additional tough measures and tariffs against Moscow if it does not agree to a peace deal over Ukraine. There appears to be a clear double standard in play, with Russia receiving preferential treatment compared to U.S. allies subjected to harsh tariffs. This decision undermines America's stance against Russian aggression and emboldens Putin's regime. It also reinforces concerns that Trump prioritizes his personal relationship with the Russian president over national interests and commitments to allies. The American people deserve transparency on why a hostile power like Russia has been exempted from measures impacting the entire global economy. A clear justification that serves U.S. strategic objectives must be provided, not empty rhetoric claiming negligible trade impact. https://resist.bot/petitions/PYFIYU
