There are secondary tariffs on those countries who buy from Russia and Venezuela or Iran. i.e. if you buy oil from Venezuela, then your export of clothing will invite 25% tarrifs.

Are the two mutually exclusive? Because using the same formula they apply to other countries, Russia would have tariffs as high as 84%. (I confess to using an LLM to get me the data.)
