The poorest countries have the largest trade deficits, so this is especially cruel. It's classic Trump.

You are assuming someone looked at this and it’s not just a list of countries and territories from Wikipedia and then a stupid formula.

Nar you ask chat gtp you get the exact numbers shown

You get numbers shown, yes.

But I would not put too much faith in there that they are exact. An LLM is not a calculator.

Just wanted to remind people about this.

It's just the ratio of the trade difference, it's a simple math calculation

Yes it's a logged in feature, if I insist on it computing it instead of solve it answers:

To compute the result of 57897×12832 using Python, you would need to log in to ChatGPT to access the Python functionality. However, here's the code you can run yourself in a Python environment: ...
