Missing From Trump’s Tariffs: $22 Billion In Russian Imports Since 2022

Despite the imposition of tariffs on many countries, Russia managed to import nearly $22 billion worth of goods into the United States since 2022. This despite a decline in trade between the two superpowers following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trade has been decreasing steadily since 2022, reaching a low point of just $3 billion in 2024. However, sanctions have remained a key factor in the negotiation process for easing tensions.
