Can somebody please explain to me the ruckus due to Trump’s tariffs when all countries have higher tariffs on US?

Serious question. Are they disgruntled cause they can’t play fair? Like what’s good for the goose is no longer good for the gander? He only placed half the amount on them as their amount on us from what I read.

Geeesh! 🤔

It seems US is charging half but is not quite true.

These reciprocal tariffs have nothing to do with tariffs

Reciprocal rates apparently are calculated based on how much trade deficit US carried with that country. Tariff they may be charging on US products isn’t an input

@wildbill83 Right. That middle column is derived using deficit on goods
