It's kinda funny how that works out to half for so many countries isn't it?
I'm surprised Brazil is at 10-10
They're developing just like us yet see how low import duty on US products is there. I notice same for Chile & Colombia too. Maybe its some Americas thing.
Then you have Japan & Korea and wonder why they impose so much on US imports. The EU is only slightly better.

Explained in the video, they arbitrarily selected 2 as a dividing factor.
First column - trade deficit / total exports to US
Second column - (trade deficit / total exports to US)/2

A good video that adds to our understanding even though he goes out on a limb to speculate here and there. I like how he says Mar a lago agreement. In other words dawn of a new economic order
Your formula isn't from this video though
So what is his point that he politely puts across at the end?
The not so polite version which is the oppositions view.
Do they really think the world can hold out for eighteen months against the US?
Heh....

Can USA hold against the world for eighteen months in addition to prolonged future policy decisions ?
Already countries might've decided a less dependent future on USA, if they are wise enough i.e...
In reality, countries may settle this with USA, aka make new 'deals', for mutual benefit. Still future trustworthiness will be in limbo.

Yes. They grow their own food and are quasi self sufficient on energy. You just confuse China with them.
There is no such thing. They are just grandstanding
Yes, that was my argument right from the start. Like Kaizen said don't look at tariffs literally but how the game changes as a result
Of late, Israel says zero import duty on American goods.
Hmm, Mirrans paper is 40 pages...

Imposing duty while receiving 3.8 billion USD a year in US aid would've been the most jewish thing to do.

You do realise that money goes to American companies right?
Because Obama conned them into among other things free ammo so they shut down their basic ammo factories. Artillery shells, tank rounds and bullets. Free. Courtesy uncle Sam. That's how you put a leash on an attack dog. Force them into a defensive mindset from the offensive one that won the six day war. The mindset that would have sorted out the Iranian threat ages ago.

You do realize that the American govt. barely helps their own citizens right ? They're handing free money to their masters while the people who lost everything in the LA fires are lucky enough to get assistance in the form of loans.
The same attack dog that attacked the USS Liberty to get US embroiled deeper into the war ?

Yeah it's in this one (link with timestamp) -
My conclusion is that this represents the death throes of US as a superpower. It will mostly be in vain and in lead to a multipolar world.

Do we have to go through this again?
Israel's value to the US I've already posted about here. The US gets a 15% compounded return on their investment since the last half century.
Happened during the six day war.
The US wasn't an ally of Israel back then. So what does embroiled deeper mean?
The six day war was won with French hardware btw. Not American.
Still, its unfortunate, friendly fire can and does occur.
Figure for Israeli soldiers killed by their own since the Gaza war began?
Somewhere between 50 - 100. Which is like 10% of their total deaths. I find that figure unacceptably high. But its a war and shit happens....

So why Americas super power dying? Are these tariffs a way to revive that dying power?
How will these be revived by tariffs? I can't understand as I am not strong in Economics though?

watch that video you will get all your answers, and also the one I posted before that from same channel. Short answer is that other countries like China are catching up so relative influence and economic power that US is used to will no longer be maintainable. Share of US in global wealth is going down.
Agreed except Russia will be a vassal state of China. It will not be one of the "poles". My guess would be - US, EU, China. 30 years later maybe we can add India to that.

Thanks for explaining in simple words. That China & EU are the new super powers now.
I think so this pic is self explanatory of US dying super power or inflation in US.

^ apparently to avoid Australia use that island as fake-id to export materials to USA and avoid tariffs.
www.theguardian.com
Not that Norfolk! Mislabelled shipments led to Trump tariffs on uninhabited islands and remote outposts with no US trade
Exclusive: Aquarium systems, Timberland boots and recycling plant parts were mislabelled as coming from remote Norfolk Island or Heard and McDonald islands
The ultimate MAGA saviour, the king of the kings, the ultimate Sultan of the milky way has exposed a shady poo pipeline of that penguin island because they were secretly exporting their poo to maga land to be used as fertilizer and gun powder.
The Usefulness Of Penguin Poo
Let's face it, penguins poop A LOT! But there's something interesting about penguin poo. It's also caused some penguin species to become endangered. Read more.

Biggest cheats. Made a complete mockery of the WTO. How many times has China been hauled to the WTO. Why does this TOI article fail to mention that?
