Just for the record, Malaysia does not impose a 47% tariff on the US. Although Trump managed to lie to many Americans by calling it a reciprocal tariff, I hope Malaysians don't fall for it!

So is this the math of how the Trump administration’s “reciprocal” tariffs work? Tariff rate = (U.S. trade deficit with a country ÷ that country’s exports to the U.S.) ÷ 2

I dug into the White House's list of 1039 tariff-exempt items. Here's the final result: Using the most granular trade data available for the past 1 year, 24.2% of Malaysia's exports to US would be tariff-free. This means 75.8% of our exports to US (10.2% of exports overall)

Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment

Dear Americans, the rest of the world is trying to figure out why you’re trying to rewrite the rules of global trade that you wrote in the first place.
