        3 billion is nothing.

        Cool, can I borrow $3 billion?

        Trump put tariffs on uninhibited islands, which is literally $0 in trade.

        Russia never traded much with US. So it’s business as usual.

        So the source is your reddit comment linking to a statement from a “Whitehouse official”. I do not trust anyone representing Donald trump.

        Edit:I don’t know why it looked like reddit to me

          Sorry, I don’t support Trump 😅 I was just trying to link to the original comment I had made. Not hiding the source. That’s also why I said “apparently”. I just did a quick search and was hoping someone could either correct me or corroborate that view.
