Commie Dems will cry that President Trump's tariffs are unfair. Don't let them gaslight the narrative. These reciprocal tariffs are not eye for eye. They are in fact far less than what other countries are tariffing the USA.
These charts are BRILLIANT strategery on part of the Q team to help normie Americans understand just how much America has been screwed over by nearly every country on the planet for the past 50 years.
Today is indeed a LIBERATION DAY for The United States of America.
I think the USMCA may complicate the tariffs on Canada and Mexico. This trade agreement likely has some specific details on what can and cannot be done with Tariffs. The reason the Fentanyl Emergency was used for justification is likely a carve-out in the USMCA to apply additional tariffs.
We don't have a USMCA with all these other countries so it is probably easier to just say we're going to charge you half the tariff you charge us and we reserve the right to raise them further. There is a baseline 10% for all countries, because it appears all countries charge the US at least 10% and that is a matching tariff.
For Canada and Mexico, the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders remain in effect, and are unaffected by this order. This means USMCA compliant goods will continue to see a 0% tariff, non-USMCA compliant goods will see a 25% tariff, and non-USMCA compliant energy and potash will see a 10% tariff. In the event the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders are terminated, USMCA compliant goods would continue to receive preferential treatment, while non-USMCA compliant goods would be subject to a 12% reciprocal tariff.

Hey HANDSHAKE (yeah, since thatβs what you are) why did you edit your post and remove what you actually called me to βfkβ??? If you wanted to tone down your post, why not delete it instead?
Seems like youβre not just a shill but also a coward. Hell you didnβt even call me a full on name but βfkββ¦. Really? Be a man, geeze.
I challenge you to edit your post back from (the ghey βfkβ) to the original term. Iβll wait.
The tariffs other countries place are for certain things, like look at North Macedonia. They got a 60% total tariff on all goods. But, they don't really put tariffs on anything except tobacco - which their government did as a stupid way to get their people to quit smoking. But, they only import something like $250k in cigarettes annually because American cigarettes there are considered a big luxury. They get almost all of their cigarettes from China and Indonesian countries.
So, in retaliation of that cigarette tariff, now we Tariff all goods from Macedonia. Northern Macedonia is the third largest exporter of Reaction and Catalytic Products in the world, it's their only real export - they export more than $3 billion of the stuff to the US. So now, it will cost production companies - mostly steel and aluminum producers 60% more to buy the chemicals they need to produce their aluminum here in the states.
But, Aluminum has been tariffed from all other countries at around 20%.
So, it will actually be cheaper to buy aluminum at a 20% markup from Canada than it would be to make it here at home in the states.
Where can we verify these numbers. I wanted to check the tariffs between EU <-> US, and I could not come up with anything in the 37% region that EU is supposed to impose.
We aren't paying that percentage of tariffs on all products from most of those countries.
From what I can find, there are certain, specific products, that are being set at the highest numbers you see there, but everything else is at much lower numbers.
There's a post by u/thekingofracine just above your post that goes into more detail.
I encourage you to read it. Basically, because that country had a high tarrif on American cigarettes (because they wanted their people to stop smoking) we're going to be stuck with insanely high aluminum imports.
So do these tariffs not even take into account regulation?
If I can make product X and dump toxic waste into my local river, I save money. Make the identical product X in the US and now you have to properly dispose of waste, and that costs money.
If I can make product X and pay people pennies a day, I save money.
Make the identical product X in the US and I have to follow minimum wage laws, and that costs money.
Companies in the US are forced to follow many regulations that other countries ignore. The cost of which should be a default tariff right there, even if everything else was equal.
I just don't think that tariffs are going to bring manufacturing back to America like so many people believe it will.
For one reason, like you've said, there are so many regulations in the US that other countries don't have.
And companies aren't going to be able to find workers in the US that will work for $2 per day, like they do in India and other really poor parts of the world.
The key part that many don't mention is that every person that starts a business does so to earn money which requires profits. If a business can move some work to countries where profits can be increased to a large enough degree to make it worth the process then that's simply what they do. Businesses won't be forced to make less profit if they can avoid it. i'm not defending businesses as most already rip us off massively but profit is still the primary goal of businesses.
The problem for us is that as consumers we are always the ones that end up paying the bill so to speak. If a business were forced to source items from American sources, the entire product chain would be more costly and at each section prices will increase so that each business in the chain maintains their profit margins and by time it gets to the consumer, the consumer is stuck paying the calculated higher price so that billion dollar businesses can make billions more in profits.
The minimum wage is a good example. Force McDonalds to pay people a living wage in a job that was never intended to provide a living wage and the result is computers where customers handle placing their own orders without a human at a register. In some instances even robots being tested to handle some orders. The end result begins with price increases but then comes employees losing their jobs due to budget cuts. In the end many people lose their jobs and customers see higher prices.
If businesses were made to or lured back to America, their prices would increase so that they yet again are able to maintain desired profit margins. There's no good solution to it because if a percentage cap were placed on profits then businesses would just stay in countries without such regulations. Tariffs in theory might be a good idea to some but businesses always seek their profits and if they don't make enough profit then they risk closures.
America would need to make offers that were appealing enough to lure businesses back here. Anything forced rarely ever yields positive results. The global trade is simply what it is and undoing it at this point isn't really a realistic option. The world cannot revert back to the days of wooden ships and communication taking weeks or months.
I agree with much of what you've written, but would like to provide a counterpoint to a couple of things:
The minimum wage is a good example. Force McDonalds to pay people a living wage in a job that was never intended to provide a living wage
The minimum wage was always meant to be a living wage.
βBy living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence levelβI mean the wages of a decent living.β -FDR on the Fair Labor Standards Act which established the minimum wage in 1938.
McDonalds was created in the 1940s, and really began spreading around the country in the early 1960s. Yes, back in the 1960s, teenagers was a significant part of their workforce. But even then, they were paid a wage that was around today's equivalent of $13/hrs, which is much closer to a "living wage" than the $7.25 federal minimum wage today.
One big difference between then and now is that teenagers aren't the majority of workers earning a minimum wage today. Teenagers are no longer a significant part of the workforce. There were more teenagers working then due to the baby boomers being the largest generation(they would have been teenagers from the very late 50s to the very early 80s), and because of changes in parenting over the years (parents tend to think teenagers should spend their time on studies and extra curriculum activities now). The idea that these jobs are still being held by teenagers is faulty. The vast majority of fast food jobs are held by adults.
and the result is computers where customers handle placing their own orders without a human at a register.
It doesn't matter what a person's wage is, they would be replaced by a machine anyway. A machine is much more reliable than a person, doesn't call in sick, doesn't slack off at work, doesn't get holidays off, doesn't insult the customers, doesn't misunderstand the orders, doesn't require an HR department, and doesn't cost an additional 40% of the employee's base salary for health benefits, retirement contribution, paid leave, etc...
Technology has always replaced human jobs, and keeping wages low will not stop it.
Looms replaced weavers, mechanical reapers and tractors replaced a significant number of farm workers, electric vacuums reduced the need for household help. These jobs were replaced by technology in the 1700s and 1800s. Well before minimum wage laws.
Technology is not just about cost savings in wage elimination. It's about efficiency, speed, and consistency. No matter how low wages are, businesses will always embrace technology over humans.
One of the biggest changes from the days of teenagers flipping burgers (who still earned a decent wage, compared to today's burger flipper) and today, is how the salary of company executives has skyrocketed in comparison to the average employees.
In the 1960s, the wage gap was around 20:1. That means the highest paid people in the company were being paid 20x what the lowest paid people were.
Today, the wage gap is 300:1. That means that the highest paid people in a company are being paid 300x what the lowest paid people are.
Obviously, large companies are completely able to pay their lowest earning employees better wages, they just don't.
And sadly, that's not going to change.
Just as you were pointing out, companies are more interested in making/keeping money than they are about being good wards of this earth (dumping hazardous materials all over the planet) or about being conscientious employers (preferring slave labor, which is frequently child slave labor).
So, no matter what wages here are, they're going to prefer to work overseas where they can get away with the reprehensible things they do. No matter what the tariffs are, they're not going to bring jobs back here. After all, the companies aren't the ones that ultimately are going to be paying those tariffs. We will be paying them. Because the companies are just going to increase the prices of their products to make up the difference. They're not going to eat the difference, out of the goodness of their hearts.
Criticizing the minimum wage here is not going to bring jobs back to the US. It's just going to continue hurting the people who need it the most while benefitting the people making 300x what they are.
Unfortunately, I don't see that ever really changing. π€·ββοΈ
Greed is always going to win. And rich companies/people are always going to be stuffing the pockets of politicians in order to keep minimum wage down.
So, until the population gets sick of this, and stops listening to politicians who are in the pockets of the corporations, nothing is ever going to change. Until the population gets sick of this, there will always be companies getting rich off the back of child labor all around the world.
But since the population doesnβt seem to care about any of this, and are just concerned about how cheap their hamburgers and Nikes and Iphones are, we're pretty much fucked.π€·ββοΈ
This is where reduced Company tax comes into play which is a smart move. However, you are correct that it would normally result in higher cost of goods.

Its not. The commies will cry that it is though. That is the brilliant strategery with these transparent charts. It shuts their counter narrative down before it even begins!
Maybe they did it that way to force people to have to look at all of them to find the country they are looking for. I still can't find places like Germany or France.
European Union charges the US 39%, doesn't pay their NATO defense bill, and has been taking advantage of us for decades after we REBUILT Europe with the Marshall Plan after WWII.
F them all.
Enjoy your 5 scheduled Adhans per day.
We're not paying to rebuild Europe all over again when you lose it to the infidels.
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 - names sound familiar? Mind you, Vietnam, Laos, Libya, Syria - maybe because US invaded them? 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.
How many of these high tarriffs charged overseas appear as kickbacks from lobbies in the USA congress?
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. As appears is a happening thing on that board.
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.
Strange alot of them are 10% each way. The ones that are higher than 10% we almost always charge 50% of what they hit our products on. How does that make sense?
The big question is, will Democrats and their backers be able to sustain the higher prices resulting from the tariffs all the way through to the mid-term elections? I'm afraid they will be able to appeal to the short-term emotional response to higher prices rather than the longer-term health of the nation.
I guess alphabetizing would be too big of a bother? I know it's not your fault, but it's strange that whoever made this graphic couldn't just alphabetize the countries' names.
There are a few errors. Ie Norfolk Island is part of Australia, so I'm not sure where they got the 58% from as the island doesn't produce anything that is exported and if it did it would be an Australian export.
The tariffs are also charged on the price the importer paid for the goods, e.g. the wholesale price. It shouldnβt lead to huge retail price increases.
SAVE THESE STATS ANONS!

Mexico and Canada have already bent the knee and removed their tarrifs.
is that why they are not on the list?

Time to get rid if the USMCA. It was junk from the moment it was signed.
Didn't Trump sign the USMCA?
I thought it was Bush but maybe I have the name wrong. I'm thinking of the one George W signed.
Pretty sure you're correct because he didn't think NAFTA was in the interest of USA.
For Canada and Mexico, the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders remain in effect, and are unaffected by this order. This means USMCA compliant goods will continue to see a 0% tariff, non-USMCA compliant goods will see a 25% tariff, and non-USMCA compliant energy and potash will see a 10% tariff. In the event the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders are terminated, USMCA compliant goods would continue to receive preferential treatment, while non-USMCA compliant goods would be subject to a 12% reciprocal tariff.

Very interesting post.

Exactly! As I was watching him explain this I yelled out loud "He's brilliant!"
Itβs unfair for us. Not true reciprocal. America haters should not be complaining.
Irritating it's not in alphabetical order lol. Why did they not do that
Maybe they did it that way to force people to have to look at all of them to find the country they are looking for. I still can't find places like Germany or France.
Because they are part of the EU!
Thanks - you're right! I thought either Liechtenstein or Switzerland were members but they are not. Good catch.
Checked the list three times and France and Greece aren't up there.
I'm surprised Cambodia, Myanmar and "Reunion"(?) are very high in tariffs, 97%, 88% and 73%, respectively.

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.
Ukraine is on list, 6th one down from top left. Russia i cant find, i dont think its on the list.
Filipinos and Expats get around their high import taxes by sending Balikbayan boxes, which are duty free.
Thank you Qanaut, I just sent it to 4 people
Are these the new tariffs or old ones? If they are the new ones, then why aren't we charging the same % as the other countries that are over 10%?

Not a complete list. Only 1/4th of the listed tariffs. More were posted on the White House X account.

Strange alot of them are 10% each way. The ones that are higher than 10% we almost always charge 50% of what they hit our products on. How does that make sense?
Won't some countries who already have 10% tariffs try to game this and change it to 20% tariffs?
The big question is, will Democrats and their backers be able to sustain the higher prices resulting from the tariffs all the way through to the mid-term elections? I'm afraid they will be able to appeal to the short-term emotional response to higher prices rather than the longer-term health of the nation.
I guess alphabetizing would be too big of a bother? I know it's not your fault, but it's strange that whoever made this graphic couldn't just alphabetize the countries' names.
There are a few errors. Ie Norfolk Island is part of Australia, so I'm not sure where they got the 58% from as the island doesn't produce anything that is exported and if it did it would be an Australian export.
Is half of it made up?
I don't think they are made up but I was just pointing out some errors.
The tariffs are also charged on the price the importer paid for the goods, e.g. the wholesale price. It shouldnβt lead to huge retail price increases.
