    As much as people have been mentioning the complete absence of tariffs for Russia, how has no one mentioned the massive ones for Switzerland? WTF did they do to piss off 47?

      Your mistake is that you assume there’s a rational reason for the level of tariffs in the first place - they use a nonsense formula based on trade imbalance

        OK, fair point. There’s been more news coverage that confirms this since yesterday. They apparently Cat GPT’ed the figures and provided a baloney formula when pressed as to their rationale.
