kudos to s h i k o r a
edit: complete list is here (4 pages long)
Lol. There are seriously 185 counties across the four pages of that list. And Russia is not one of them.
This is out of the 193 sovereign states that the UN recognizes. Wild
10% is the default, no? Does that not include Russia? Not that there should be any trading at the moment.
I just heard the reasons for these tariffs is probably based directly on the ratio between trade deficit compared to total trade. A tiny island where almost nobody lives and that never trades with the US got into the highest tariff category because some American bought $3 million worth of sea food in 2024.
Why such high tariffs on Moldova? They’re a poor nation.
It’s the trade deficit masquerading as a tarrif - Moldova sells more than it buys from America because American stuff is expensive and Moldova can’t afford to buy American goods so it gets hit with “reciprocal” tariffs on it’s exports.
I read somewhere that the theory is countries that don’t purchase ad much from the us as the us buys from said country got more tarrifs because in trumps mind they’re losing money.
