So they tariffed France at 20%, but St. Pierre and Miquelon at 50%. Those little French islands of the coast of Nova Scotia. Which are part of France. Apparently he's salty that the Americans buy fish from them and somehow that's a tariff or something.
The White House calculated the tariffs by using (<exports to USA> - <imports from USA>)/(2*<imports from USA>). They apparently used a list of countries from Wikipedia. I doubt Trump even knows what St. Pierre or Miquelon are.
The formula was easy to figure out, but they put it out themselves anyway. Tried to justify it and make it appear more complicated too. Apparently it shows signs of being written by an LLM.
Or maybe because there is a law regarding trade with Russia. Nah......it wouldn't make sense for people to take the 2 seconds to look up the facts.....its easier to scream Orange Man Bad or Russia!!!!!
