These are reciprocal tariffs. How dare you bring facts and common sense? /s
It’s not just that the Trump values are way bigger than the real ones, it’s that the ones that actually do impose big tariffs on the USA (tho still smaller than his numbers) aren’t even the ones most punished in general
Oh, so they are lying. So fucking shocked
Well, that doesn’t look good
So how much are the penguins charging us?
What about universal tariffs? Weighted category tariffs are fine but you can’t really compare them to the universal tariffs applied in “reciprocation,” which are applied in addition to category tariffs.
If we looked at universal tariffs I’d be willing to bet the left column is mostly zeros.
This is interesting, but data is not beautiful at all in this representation.
Anyone know why Cambodia is at 97%?
Fun fact about Cambodia, they use the US dollar as internal currency more often than their own currency (Riel)
That’s informative, yes, but definitely not beautifully visualized data.
I’d be curious to see weighted average for the new tariffs trump has imposed would be including all the annex II exemptions. Basically there’s a long list of minerals/ores, drugs, petroleum products, wood products, metals and alloys and some other materials that are exempt. So for the same reason this data shows actual tariff in practice is much less, the same will be for the new US tariffs on foreign countries.
Still dumb as shit, but I’m curious what the actual spread would be between the US and foreign tariffs.
a bit misleading. i am assuming its weighted by dividing US imports of a specific industry to total US imports to that country and multiplying by the tariffs and then summing. this would naturally favour industries with less tariffs as any industries with high tariffs would have less imports.
that being said, the white house calculation is absolute nonsense
All this because of a sex tape Putin has of Trump?
That entire chart (from Trump) is literally and mathemativally equal to:
Trade Deficit / US imports * 100
It is their published equation.
And if there is a trade surplus, then that number is changed to 10% tariff, that is why there are 112 countries hit with 10% tariff, because USA has a trade surplus with those.
No penguin islands listed, are we sure we can trust the WTO? Cause the White House couldn’t be that stupid, right? Right?
Yeah, tariffs are not a single number but an itemized table customized to the type of product, country of origin etc. That’s why it says weighted average. They probably picked the highest number on that table, whether it makes sense or not. They may have also taken into account VAT, lord knows what they did. But it still doesn’t make sense because my country applies unbelievable taxes on imports. Like for every Iphone we buy, we buy one for the government. But they left us in the 10% bracket, so we got preferential treatment I guess.
Why have a decimal on one but no others?
Wow I’m watching the upvotes go down and then up and then back down, lotta people real angry with this lmao
How is the “weighted average” calculated?
There is no way the EU’s WTO average is really only 2.7%. That alone makes me question the entirety of this data.
Ok, so if the EU has a 1000% tariff on US air conditioners, and 0% on everything else, no one in Europe will buy US air conditioners and the “tariff rate” calculated by the WTO will be 0%.
The White House calculation of tariff rate is completely ridiculous as well, but clearly all of these countries DO tariff the US, and previously the US was not tariffing or doing so at significantly reduced rates to even these WTO calculated rates.
People who say VAT isn’t a tariff is lying to themselves from 2 years ago

What do facts have to do with these tariffs?
Great chart though!
Directly link to the [original source article](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/wiki/rules/rule2) of the visualization.
Americans be like: Europeans literally don’t allow us to sell food to them and we need to tariff them for it.
My brothers in Christ, what you call food literally doesn’t qualify as food in most of the developed world.
2 out of 193 aint bad though
Listen, I’m not an economics expert but I think it’s clear that the people in this administration are also not
This explains why he was talking about Cambodia.
