The actual math is even dumber
Fellas is it bad to tank the global economy using math a 6th grader can do?
So I’ve only spot check a couple but it actually just seems like they made the “tarrifs on US” just the 2024 trade imbalance and set the tariffs at half of whatever the trade imbalanced is.
For example:
US exports to the Philippines was $9.3B
US imports were $14.2B
1-(9.3/14.2)= 34.5%

US exports to Bangladesh was $2.2B
US imports from Bangladesh $8.4B
1-(2.2/8.4)= 73.9%
