Is it true that he didn't place tariffs on Russia?

Yes, but to be fair the US and Russia have minimal trade relations. There is about $3 billion in trade between Russia and the U.S. per year. That the amount of good that crosses the US / Canada border PER DAY. Russia also has sanctions on it.

So it’s bad Russia got left out (because obviously trump is tanking the economy for the benefit of oligarchs and Russia) but also it’s not theat much of a flex to point out Russia isn’t included
