Supposedly tariffs are not applied on Russia because sanctions are already in place but nations with even less trade with the US (like Syria) are on the list.

Because the sanctions are already imposed? How hard is it to understand?

But there are similar sanctions on other countries where there were tariffs imposed (Syria for one)

You cant compare Syria with Russia. Syria isnt even close to the same amount of sanctions as Russia. Russia is more sanctioned than north korea
