IF he wants to target russia with tariffs he can just put tariffs on the countries trading with russia unless they stop trade with them. Would still be categorized as targeting russia with those tariffs.
That said it’s what the sanctions already are doing just fine. Like India that stopped paying russia again for their oil from russia due to recent sanctions on banks from USA.

Hot air worthless bluffing. Putin is laughing.
This orange dipshit is even dumber than we thought.
Everyone knows what needs to be done – more military aid, expulsion of russian nationals, banning of flights from russia, etc. etc.

Yeah… He has no idea what he is doing. Tariffs on Russia make very little sense as Russia has lower and lower export volume to US. And they largely shifted to countries that don’t cooperate with US or are a “middleman”. On top of that, US citizens are about it get hit hard economically. Like really hard. Adding tariffs on top of that will hit his voters even more. So the end effect will be pissed international community and weaken US. The only one that will benefit will be the US ultra rich cause they will be largely unaffected by the fallout and will be able to buyout small businesses that will get into troubles cause of tariffs.
I just hope someone in his cabinet will tell him that sending weapons to Ukraine will create jobs and will be cheaper for US economy than dumb idea of tariffs.

So he’s going to put tariffs on the payments Russia makes to right-wing influencers?
Does the US import anything other than culture-war propaganda?

Exactly. Tariffs are not a threat to Russia at all. They’re completely irrelevant

Trump can increase our energy exports to drive down the cost of energy and put tariffs on Russian energy exports to make Russia’s energy harder to sell. Energy exports are financing the Russian war effort. If Putin doesn’t have money coming in, he’ll have to negotiate peace.

He’ll call the sanctions tariffs and then take credit for beating Russia

Not sure of scale in grand scheme of Russian exports but they export fertilizer and rare earth minerals, much of that fraction probably goes to us?
