Did he really talk about implementing tariffs all across the board?

u/DrJohnnyBananas74 1d ago

Yes. But in his defense, he was so stupid he thought the importing country paid the tariffs. Wait, guess that isn't in his defense.

No no, the importing country does pay the tariff. The exporting country does not.

If you buy X in Y country, you pay the US the tariff, Y now has put reciprocal tariffs on the US on goods bought that are exported.

Yeah I meant the country sending the goods. The reality is no country pays. The consumer pays and he doesn't know that. He just stuck us all with a gigantic sales tax.

you can have export tariffs as well. But yeah, colloquially it defaults to import tariffs.
