Yes. His administration officials have tried the line of "we already sanction them, we don't really do any trade with Russia already". Okay I didn't know we did that much trade with Vanuatu but you still hit them with tariffs.

He put a 50% tariff on Lesotho, and (according to his Joint Address to Congress) nobody has ever heard of them.
