edit: complete list is here (4 pages long)

I like how Switzerland tried to please Donald trump to avoid the tariffs like a lil bitch and now got hit even more.
You can instantly tell that this whole shit was concocted by an idiot who has zero connection to reality, because Portugal doesn’t have the same percentage as any other Balkan country.
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
Several of the entries on the list are not independent countries (French Guiana, for example, has a different rate to the EU despite being part of France and the EU) and one doesn’t even have a human population (Heard & McDonald Islands, an Australian territory near Antarctica)
Oooh. Which one doesn’t even have humans?
What did Israel get?
17%
Notice how the UK got less? He wants them to follow him like a scottish terrier, and if Farage worms his way into power, I know for a fact they’re going down the same route.
Switzerland was so proud of avoiding the face eating leopard for so long. But the leopard found out how delectable Swiss faces are.
He really has it in for Lichtenstein
Does this mean Russia doesn’t get any tariffs at all? Also, why higher tariffs for Switzerland than the EU, but lower for the UK?
Russia is sanctioned (for now at least). For UK and other countries, probably they played some games on closed doors, during the white house visiting. We will see, i don’t gonna be surprised if UK buys military equipment from USA (or more that they were planning of).
10% is the default, no? Does that not include Russia? Not that there should be any trading at the moment.
Russia is not on the list. The bare minimum is 10% from the list. Also the whole list from BBC
Edit: holy fuck i didn’t see that there are 4 pages of that list. . .
But no Russia?
They have sanctions on them, so i do not know what is their current situation in trade with them. I bet that is gonna change though.
Hard to believe the sanctions had any actual impact as uninhabited islands are having tariffs leavied against them.
If these tariffs were made to benefit Russia, why doesnt Ukraine have a higher percentage?
Note that more importantly, Russia has been uniquely spared any tariffs.
Because they weren’t made intelligently.
Why Bosnia, Serbia and Moldova so much?
Poor countries got screwed. The formula of how tariffs calculated is a simple equation of how much less USA exports to a country than import.
Many poor countries due to currency difference do that and got high tariffs.
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 have updated the post with a link to full list. Vietnam got 46% lmao.
for (c in countries) { c.tariffs = Math.random(); }Sadly there are many reports, that it’s just
for (c in countries) { c.tariffs = math.max(10, (c.exportsTo(us) - c.importFrom(us)) / (c.exportsTo(us)*2)) }
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.
Okay but you’re missing the point: I want to believe that this is all a highly planned and funded Russian op because the alternative is that half the country elected someone so incredibly dumb WITHOUT a conspiracy.
