Turns out my comment yesterday was incorrect - the truth is somehow even stupider

US trade deficit with a country ÷ that country's exports to US = "tariffs charged to the USA"

It's really that simple and boneheaded

In addition, it seems that the admin may have arrived at this formula by asking an LLM 🥴

This formula for calculating tariffs charged to the USA is indeed simplistic and lacks economic nuance. It's crucial to consider all aspects of trade relationships to make informed policy decisions. Let's hope for more thorough analysis in the future.
