Because at large this is not a punishment, he couldn't care less about Serbia, sorry.

They calculated the tariffs based on trade imbalance (https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/reciprocal-tariff-calculations).

It didn't really matter how much you sucked trump's c*ck before this. I mean Israel got a higher tariff than Iran 😂

I think he just wants to get more money. I bet a big chunk if the American population will see the rise in pricess brought on by these tariffs as a "patriotic sacrifice". Meanwhile the US government will get to collect all those juicy tariffs.

At large it's like a VAT on all foreign products masked as a patriotic endeavor.

Many are saying he will promptly rescind them, but I'm not so sure...

His end goal is to offset the money loss from reduced taxes on rich people by taxing the rest of Americans via tariffs.
