So the US has been, more or less, the best place in the world to do business. Stocks historically soaring, yadda yadda yadda ... and somehow this guy sells the story that the US has been taking advantage of by all the other evil countries in the world. It does not, in any way, make sense. What a clown. A totalitorian clown unfortunately.

Would love to know what your country's tariffs are on the US.

You are downvoted but this never mentioned indeed. I have a hard time finding how much us Europeans pay in tariffs on stuff from China and the US.

For the EU and US: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_...

> For technical reasons, there is not one “absolute” figure for the average tariffs on EU-US trade, as this calculation can be done in a variety of ways which produce quite varied results. Nevertheless, considering the actual trade in goods between the EU and US, in practice the average tariff rate on both sides is approximately 1%. In 2023, the US collected approximately €7 billion of tariffs on EU exports, and the EU collected approximately €3 billion on US exports.

Is suspect you can translate yourself. Every country has a site I am sure (looked up uk tarifs yesterday for instance)

[teekert]

So depending on the goods, between 0 and 17%.

[roflyear]

Yeah, I think best way is to look at the total tariffs collected by the EU on US goods - about $3.3b USD in 2023 - compared to imports ~$370b USD in 2023. So like, 1%.

It's downvoted because it's a transparent and weak attempt to "both sides" something that's not both-sidesable.

[colordrops]

Why is it not "both-sidesable"?

[asacrowflies]

Middle ground fallacy

[colordrops]

No, I'm asking for details in this specific case. I don't have deep knowledge and understanding of the subject, so why is it no applicable in this case?

[kolanos]

Imagine calling trade "not both-sidesable". You can't make this stuff up.

[knowaveragejoe]

We're not talking about trade, we're talking about executive actions hampering trade.
