    Lol. There are seriously 185 counties across the four pages of that list. And Russia is not one of them.

    This is out of the 193 sovereign states that the UN recognizes. Wild

    10% is the default, no? Does that not include Russia? Not that there should be any trading at the moment.

      It’s the trade deficit masquerading as a tarrif - Moldova sells more than it buys from America because American stuff is expensive and Moldova can’t afford to buy American goods so it gets hit with “reciprocal” tariffs on it’s exports.

          Sadly there are many reports, that it’s just

          
          for (c in countries) { 
              c.tariffs = math.max(10,
                  (c.exportsTo(us) - c.importFrom(us)) /
                  (c.exportsTo(us)*2))
          }

    Switzerland was so proud of avoiding the face eating leopard for so long. But the leopard found out how delectable Swiss faces are.
