Trump’s new tariffs on every single country are literally just each country’s trade balance with the us, floored at 10%

    Mislim da je ta član prvi uspel razvozlati izjemno zakomplicirano formulo, ki naslavlja specifičnost vsakega posamičnega trga in vključuje nekatere najkompleksnejše konstante našega časa.

  4. Tu je pa še pojasnitev, kako so izračunali carine, ki naj bi jih druge države zaračunavale ZDA.

    Me pa zanima, kako bodo to uvedli, bo to moralo skozi kongres/senat ali bo kar predsedniški ukaz. Trump se obnaša slabše kot kralji v fevdalizmu. Če izvoliš klovna, ti pač naredi cirkus iz države.

    Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn’t actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country’s exports to us.

    So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
