American Tariffs (50% roughly) of foreign tariffs...

Yes tariffs such, but we riddle me this, why can others charge tariffs, but when the US implements a tariff that is 50% lower that is a problem?

The numbers in the left hand column are not the actual tariffs though so...

What source are you using, since this is from the White House.

They lied about those numbers. It's apparently the actual trade deficit with those countries and that is not what the heading for that column states.

Their tariff rate isn't indicative of the number on the left, for starters.

In so many words, yes.

It's not a mistake if it's intentional... They labelled the column something different than the calculation actually represents.

A deliberate lie is not a mistake.

Right. It's intentional misinformation to justify hostile actions against other nations.

yeah, that chart presented by Trump is just a brazen, objective lie. The media has made up lies from Trump for the better part of a decade now, but this is indisputable. The left column is a lie, plain and simple.
The White House has acknowledged it is a lie.
I voted for reciprocal tariffs. I did not vote for this shite.
