"Trade justice requires more than poorly designed tariffs. It demands systemic reform: binding labor rights, climate protections, resilient supply chains, and democratic accountability. Trump offers none of that."

Trump'ın tarife formülü öyle tuhaf ki, 12 bin nüfuslu ada ülkesi Nauru'dan yapılan 2,3 milyon $'lık ithalata (ki %96'sı dondurulmuş balık ve kalsiyum fosfat) bile %30 tarife koyuyor.
ABD'nin 918 milyar $'lık ticaret açığında Nauru'nun payı %0,02 bile değil!
