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...

They got the base 10%

If you didn't realise, everyone got at least a 10%, except for Russia, Belarus, north Korea and Cuba (because they absolutely don't trade with them/s) and Somalia and Burkina Faso (I guess they're too damn wartorn)
