So the reciprocal tariffs calculation was done on the back of a fag packet. I wonder what their policy impact assessment is like - maybe on some Rizlas.
[1/2] this is…incredibly stupid
eu: $235.6bn surplus, $605.8bn exports, 235.6/605.8 = 39% claimed tariffs charged
indonesia: $17.9bn surplus, $28.1bn exports, 17.9/28.1 = 64% claimed tariffs charged
