@normative.bsky.social a trade deficit is not a tariff, but Trump seems to think so.

this is…incredibly stupid eu: $235.6bn surplus, $605.8bn exports, 235.6/605.8 = 39% claimed tariffs charged indonesia: $17.9bn surplus, $28.1bn exports, 17.9/28.1 = 64% claimed tariffs charged india: $45.7bn surplus, $87.4bn exports, 45.7/87.4 = 52% claimed tariffs charged vietnam: $123.5bn surplus, $136.6 exports, 123.5/136.6 = 90% claimed tariffs charged which explains why the “tariffs charged to the usa” column looked made up.
