Comment Comment by Aurornis In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, the big chart the administration showed with "tariffs charged to the US" was not real.They used trade deficit numbers in the "tariffs charged to the US column". The numbers in that column are not actually tariffs charged to the US.The entire "reciprocal tariff" claim was based on a big lie.Trump also repeated claims that the US trade deficit with Canada was "close to $200 billion" when the official trade deficit is significantly less. parent Aurornis 1 year ago
