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

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 also didn't place tariffs on north Korea, ya know, the one Russia has recently begun getting help from with soldiers and Ammunition from NK fighting in Ukraine. Surely that's just a coincidence..
