Let’s be exceptionally clear. While the amount of trade between the U.S. and Russia is significantly lower than it was before the war, it is not nonexistent. In 2024, the U.S. sent $526.1 million to Russia, and the U.S. imported $3 billion in goods from Russia.
That’s according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and that’s with an existing 35 percent tariff on Russia.
