Mist Americans have no idea France still has an island near Canada. Yet PM Carney, and Macron are scheduled to meet there. The last time the islands were mentioned widely in the US was following the Free French takeover on December 24th 1941. #SaintPierreMiquelon #Carney #Macron

Sigh. Probably. Stupid, in charge, and out of control. Apparently St. Pierre and Miquelon is on the sh*t list because they don’t import anything from the US and export shellfish. Because when you are an idiot and don’t understand that “trade imbalances” by themselves don’t mean anything…

hi, no thanks @hmmvryintrstng.bsky.social · 02/04/2025
james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."
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.

Trump Tariffs : they used the ISO 3166-1 list of 249 countries and associated territories— not the list of 193 independent countries recognized by the UN. According to an American journalist, they simply took their trade deficit with each territory and divided it by that territory's exports to them.
