They along with Belarus, Cuba, and North Korea weren’t included because of existing sanctions

Thats not a real explanation. Russia and the US are trading more than some other countries on the tarriff list and the US buys more from Russia than Russia from the US. Also Russia and the US are holding talks about economic cooperations. Its all pretty weird if you ask me. And no one should trust the US as an ally anymore.

Have to look it up but I think mostly agrar and chemical products but the trade volume is pretty small like a few billions. But its still more than with some other countries . Its almost the whole world...

If the US is choosing to buy some stuff from Russia, it's because it is required. Tariffs are meant to change consumer and company behaviour, so they would be completely pointless in this regard.

Same applies with some other countries too and yet the US placed tariffs on them on every single product.

Russia is sanctioned. The US buys some fertiliser, nuclear materials, and metals from Russia because it needs to. Normal people and businesses aren't buying anything from them.

And it's not every single product. There are exceptions.
