Those four--there were actually a few more--were part of a list made public by the Trump people.

And we do trade with Russia. I don't know if we ever "traded" with Cuba. But there was a time in which things loosened up. And they do make stuff. After all, Cuba has normal relations with the rest of the world.

As for Russia, not a lot, but...

U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million, down 12.3 percent ($73.5 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024, down 34.2 percent ($1.6 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024, a 37.5 percent decrease ($1.5 billion) over 2023.
