I don't think these are reciprocal. I think these are unilateral, and when countries respond, their tariffs will be reciprocal. The distinction is very important. This is a problem created by Trump, not by other countries. You don't get to choose false language to describe it that shifts the blame.
- Wait so if the admin is in favor of reciprocal tariffs does that mean they are asking other countries to raise tariffs against the US?
