Some people have already bargained with him and made the 10 for 10 club. Which is fair game in my opinion - you just got to make friends.
People who are charging a luxury tax for American goods are obvio coining it. Just look at the gouging ones. Mind you, Vietnam, Laos maybe because US invaded them 50 years ago? Might be a little resentment, or reparations. Sri Lanka has just gone through a horrific globalist governance decision (organic only, no fertilizer), which is plunging the poor folk in the country into famine, and putting US goods right in the luxury goods bracket - but maybe someone is gladhanding humanitarian relief moneez via this lucrative tarriff. So, this sort of list also throws up some questions and avenues for investigation.
But once the people realize that all that money is going into someone's pocket most likely, their government negotiators can choose to cut THEIR tarrffs, make the imports more affordable and get access to a larger American market with their exports.
Fair is fair - today's announcement is an opening gambit. I expect some more related announcements as countries try to get a better deal. Publishing it in such a chart is going to certainly set goals for some.
Also: I notice Russia and Ukraine are not on the list. And New Zealand is an honorary 10% club-member, (they still get to charge 20%), for some reason. More questions.

Reported where? I can't find anything saying that.
An Ontario Premier suggested that Canada should drop them. But that's just him saying it, and he's just the Premier of Ontario, so it matters very little.
Today I learned: Reciprocal = 1/2. 🫤
Trump said he wanted to be nice
Gives him room to go higher if they push
I think you hit the nail on the head here.
I was expecting Newton's Third Law to be applied to reciprocal tariff's.
I wish he would have doubled theirs and gave them the fat D
kek learn something new every day..
Reciprocal in this case refers to the action, not the magnitude of the action.
Being charged 61% by Switzerland whom is charged 31% in return doesn’t feel fair.🥺🇨🇭🇺🇸
You don't get someone's attention by poking them.
You get their attention by taking their own 2x4 and bashing them in the face with it.
This is his opening bids....
Notice the base number, 10%. I suspect that will be the baseline going forward. I expect that 10% will replace the income tax.
A third column of what the tarrifs were before today would add some context.
Here is the official trade with the US by country website (Office of the United States Trade Representative).

Am I overlooking it, or is the conspicuous absence of Canada significant?
It was reported that they dropped all there tariffs
Reported where? I can't find anything saying that.

We still have a 25% tariff on most Canadian goods.
