  1. I suspect there is more than the visibly simple calculation by which they calculated the *reciprocal tariffs*. It's a version of the 19th century canon boats diplomacy. In the hearing of the Head of Dept of Trade he stated that some nations have hidden trade barriers that cause the trade deficits. And as an example he mentioned Australia who imports no american beef while USA import australian beef and this because of food and safety regulations which he claimed is based on "fake science". The clip I saw at Forbes channel was rather short but I guesstimate they have the same issue with EU. Aside of the majority of the population want these regulation and are authorised to have them it is a ridiculous to sweepingly say that it is "fake science" if there is a significant difference in the overall health status among the populations in Australia and EU compared to USA, from where the foodpyramid was sold and diabetes exploded in phase with how widely adherence to it. Now choice of food may not be the only reason to poor health but it is something that has significant impact.
