Who's slapping tarrifs on the US?
« on: April 01, 2025, 02:39:07 PM »
As good a place as any to ask, is there a good source of what countries are charging tariffs on US goods?  With all the hubbub about Trump's tariffs on everyone, it's difficult to find good data.  Some articles I've seen do claim several nations charge very high tariffs on our stuff.  If accurate, why not return the favor?

Searched in vain for the real information prior to today, and found next to nothing. Even though I've heard lots of economists discuss the major tariffs that were being already being implemented by other countries.

But thanks to the press conference today, here are some handy charts:

Yeah, I saw those start popping up yesterday.  I've also seen claims they aren't accurate, those percentages are pulled from trade deficits, not actual tariffs, standard confusion tactics.  Even one comment that one of the islands listed is uninhabited, which doesn't make sense, b/c why would an uninhabited island be putting tariffs on US goods?

Europe Scrambles to Make a Deal: Ready to Talk Tariffs With Trump

In a turn of events that would make Monty Hall smile, the European Union is reportedly indicating that they are ready to meet with the Trump administration to make a deal on tariffs.

This was, very likely, the president's goal all along, and if that's true, it appears to be working.

Europe is "ready to negotiate" with the US and has offered to scrap tariffs on industrial goods, EU chief says. https://t.co/5oc1ZoyDxP

European Union is starting negotiations.

This is, as someone once said, a big freakin' deal. But Europe is also hedging their bets:

Meanwhile, the head of the EU’s executive arm said the bloc would explore new opportunities, citing deals it has already made with Mexico and Switzerland, as well as new trade agreements it is exploring with India, Indonesia and other countries in the Indo-Pacific.

“We will focus like a laser beam on the 83% of global trade that is beyond the United States – vast opportunities – and this is why we’re deepening our relations with our trading partners,” she said at a news conference in Brussels.

Mexico, Switzerland, India, and Indonesia are starting to negotiate.
