Trump told voters last fall that he would impose “big, beautiful tariffs” on what he insisted are “other countries,” despite the fact that like the United States, other countries collect taxes and do not pay them.

"Trump's tariffs range from 25% on our closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, to 10% across the board on the rest of the world, with increases approaching 50% on goods from China, Vietnam and Cambodia, and approaching 20% on members of the European Union. Countries with which Trump is friendly, like Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar and his wife’s home country Slovenia, will see increases in the vicinity of 3%. - Lucian Truscott
