Today’s Russian papers see benefits (for Russia) from Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade wars. One claims: “There are pluses for Russia from Trump’s actions… this will become an additional window of opportunity to expand our export market.” #ReadingRussia - ThreadSky

tbh - seems to me Trump boasts initial extreme negotiation position then strikes the deal.

a shitty way to treat allies

Today’s coup is brought to you by…. Putin.

Of course they do. Putin probably put the whole Tariffs idea into Trumps head. Trump just obeyed.

Clutching at straws, are they?

Gracias Steve, I do like these segments and I know you're busy.
Would love to see them daily on here!

No comment, just a thank you Steve for taking the time to do this and to give us a window into Russia. Many of us are also in awe at your direct questions to Putin and other Russian power players when you represent the BBC. Yourself and Lyse Doucet are rockstars in reporting.

Thanks very much Mike, that's very kind of you.

The tariff debacle will come to nothing, there might be "new" deals equivalent to the existing. It is all about creating a narrative for his followers were DT claims to be a here.

The Russian papers have always been a mouth-piece for Vlad's strategy!!

On the lighter side: 'Moron cakes'??

What exports? An economic slowdown in china will be really bad for russia.

I agree with their analysis that the US President trashing America's relationships around the world and undermining Western alliances from within is very good for Putin's Russia. They couldn't ask for more...
