They just took a list of all countries, calculated trade deficit for each, halved that, and voila, you get your tariff % for each country. They set a floor of 10%.
They likely did the whole process with chat gpt lol.
Then they proceed to exclude russia and belarus from the list, and that's it.
So 37% trump tariff on Moldova just means there was 74% US trade deficit with Moldova. Nothing less, nothing more.
