I don’t think tariffs would’ve made a difference there.

Trump imposed tariffs on uninhabited islands near Antarctica, but not Russia.

Yeah but that’s out of incompetence, not malice. You’re in most cases not allowed to trade with Russia due to sanctions, so what is there to tariff?
HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 11 months ago
41% increase on tariffs to Syria which is currently also comprehensively sanctioned

The recent collapse of the Assad regime might have changed the calculus there, not sure.

They’re on a different list that allows limited trade afaik.
