Trump Tariffs Spare Russia And North Korea, Target Allies And Even Antarctic Penguins | Details [Video]

Trump Tariffs Spare Russia And North Korea, Target Allies And Even Antarctic Penguins | Details

President Trump’s sweeping global tariff plan has left allies stunned and adversaries relieved. While nations from Europe to Asia face a new 10% baseline tariff, even remote islands inhabited only by seals and penguins weren't spared. Yet, Russia and North Korea escaped penalties—despite ongoing tensions. The White House says sanctions make trade “meaningless,” but US-Russia commerce still surpasses many nations on the tariff list. With 34% on China and 17% on Israel, Trump’s second-term strategy appears to punish friends while repositioning rivals as future partners. #TrumpTariffs #USRussiaRelations #NorthKorea #TradeWar #Trump2025 #GlobalEconomy #TariffPolicy #PenguinsTaxed #RussiaExempt #TrumpNews #WhiteHouse #Putin #TrumpPutin #UkraineCrisis #USAllies #TrumpSecondTerm #Geopolitics #TradeTensions #TariffsExplained #InternationalTrade
