So, Ukraine will get an exemption, too, right? Because their trade is even a mooter point, right? Right?!

They tariffed uninhabited land, countries that export nothing to the US, and countries for which the US has a trade surplus.

All those circumstances also would have made the point moot... yet they all still made the list.

There is still more trade with Russia than many countries in the list. Even Syria and Iran got tariffs.

The administration placed tariffs on uninhabited islands. I don't think they gave a rat's patootie about the volume of trade.

Didn't seem to be an issue for the penguin islands.
