One country missing from President Trump’s new tariff list, despite running a trade surplus with the U.S. of $2.5 billion: Russia. The country was left off of a list of dozens that have much smaller trade imbalances with America,

The absence of Russia on the president’s new list of countries that he’ll hit with steep tariffs did not go unnoticed on social media. Critics were quick to accuse Trump of kowtowing to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom Trump has for years expressed his admiration of.

The Trump administration says it will soon be clear if Russia's Vladimir Putin really wants a peace deal in Ukraine, as France and Britain accuse him of playing for time.

Russia's special envoy on international economic and investment, Kirill Dmitriev, says he's in Washington meeting with the Trump administration.
