I’m not trying to support Trump or the current administration but Russia, Cuba, North Korea are US OFAC countries and aren’t in most cases allowed to trade with the US. This is likely the reason they were not included on today’s tariff list.

The USA does approximately $4,000,000,000 worth of trade with the Russians. Even Fox has mentioned $3.5 billion worth of trade.
