It is not zero, not even President Trump contends that:
Regulating Imports with a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices that Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency
www.whitehouse.gov
but it is lopsided in most cases. For example, EU has 10% on American cars, while we have 2.5% on EU cars (not trucks).
The EU tried to negotiate a trade deal before the tariff announcement, which would have been a lot less disruptive to the economy on both sides of The Atlantic.
EU offered ‘zero-for-zero’ deal to US weeks before tariff announcement
Cars and other goods were to be included, according to EU trade commissioner, who says offer is still on table
www.theguardian.com
Note that the EU is not a country, and its member countries do not all agree on how to handle this situation, as you can see for yourself in the article.
i had a personal work experience with the eu when they formed in the mid 90s.
we made some parts used by companies over there, and they put an import duty or whatever they called it that exceeded the profit margin.
so we had to lay off some people and open a factory in the uk.
that lasted until they let nitto denko build their own factory and they undercut us out of the business.

this doesn't inspire confidence, unless it is a trap.

The Russia Tariff Canard
Cheap political attacks have been part of American life since before the ink dried on the Constitution. Even George Washington took fire from scornful scribes accusing him—the man who freed us from the shackles of the British crown—of mon...
The EU is run by mentally-deranged feminists and leftists who literally think in ideological terms, then try to force the real world to fit into those erroneous concepts. Their parliamentarians think university degrees are a meaningful skill set to managing economies, immigration, infrastructure, and resources. I’ve lived and traveled throughout Europe since the 1970s, watching this all unfold. They treat their defense ministers as enemies, and always have during the past 50 years. Poland, Finland, and Norway might be the exceptions to that.
2017:
Imagine the majority Socialist-Solidarist EPP and Progressive Alliance of Socialists being the biggest parties in the EU bloc, making decisions about trade and defense.
They don’t even have defense listed in their party platforms. It’s all political ideologies taught in Marxist universities, European Green New Deal trash, silly catch-phrases and stupid buzzwords from shop-keepers and women who don’t know how their own nations work.
They don’t represent Europe well at all, and have limited real-world experience even at low levels of society.
Trump negotiating with them is like a shark vs baby seals.

Bondi has never been truly justice friendly,usually followed the deep state narrative. not sure why Desantis didn't reign her in some.
The Wal-Mart effect: Its Chinese imports have displaced nearly 200,000 U.S. jobs
China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) was supposed to improve the U.S. trade deficit with China and create good jobs in the United States. But those promises have gone unfulfilled: the total U.S. trade deficit with China reached $235 billion in 2006. Between 2001 and 2006, this...

yup, just like duty or tariffs, i have seen this first hand when i was in manufacturing.
we sold a product to a big box store. they increased orders regularly.
when they got up to a certain amount, they toured the factory.
then they told us we had to reduce the cost, even though they were already marking up the items 400% and selling out.
our only option to lower the cost was to offshore the manual labor portions of the process, so those jobs moved to mexico.

I'll bet despite demanding you lower cost by sending jobs overseas (there were stories of Walmart actually demanding jobs be shipped to China no matter what), they didn't lower their prices any or possibly even raised them.
Essentially corporate greed is what ruined the American economy, American jobs and the American dream.
Then somehow poor suckers are being told to "be patriotic and pay more" so that the same evil greedy bastard companies can make more fat profits?
Trump should actually go after Walmart and other companies that are responsible, but they probably pour too much money into campaigns and then also threaten "we'll fire a bunch of workers and hurt america bad if you don't give us what we want", kind of like the bankers.
very true. but the greed and corruption of union workers and their corrupt leaders has to be figured in as well. they are heavily complicit in all the problems that started back in the 50s. "give us what we want or we will fuck up the work and destroy the company". both sides were heavily complicit in the whole destructive deindustrializing our economy. the complex role of the stock market and financialization of the economy are also something that needs a look. nothing simple here or fast to fix.
as far as unions are concerned,i have some experience with the role they played in the 70s or so. ie comparing my wages and union wages and performance expectations. unions have,for the most part,outlived any of the real needs there were for them in the past. Reagan did deal well with them. and,NO gov worker of ANY kind should ever be allowed ANY union memberships at all. teacher's unions are largely responsible for the dumbing down & radicalization of US students.

NoThIngG to do with OPEC increasing production. Right?.... Right?.... Right!
Why do you say it has nothing to do with OPEC increasing production? It has everything to do with that - 400,000 barrels a day increase, implemented way ahead of plan. OPEC wants oil too cheap for US producers to drill, baby, drill. OPEC will cut back supply again once another Democrat is in the White House.
If gas prices go down that's a win for Trump, nobody will care if it was tariffs or not
Really? When most local production ceases due to unprofitable environment? Sounds awesome. Quite a win. From what I understand, anything much under $60 will do. Keep hoping for disaster...
Also we have a severely depleted SPR. That would be a great thing to fill if the price tanks.
Just my opinion. Not sarcasm.
Just my opinion. Not sarcasm.
The increase alone would not have nearly the impact if not for expectations of reduced productivity, and therefore energy demands. It's the whole package. OPEC production is salting the wounds
With Saudi oil paid for with US consumer money siphoned through tariffs. That Donny IS a genius. I am sure that was his plan all along.
for those of you obsessed with Russia's bad behavior (and yes,it has been often),try this. may have some predictive value.
There's pure capitalism and crony capitalism. Corporate greed goes unchecked in crony capitalism when campaign coffers get stuffed to look the other way.
I spent years in college learning about the various forms of capitalism. Funny thing, although I learned about it I have never seen pure capitalism and exactly zero discussion on lobbyists. Imagine my surprise. The closest thing I have seen to pure capitalism is a farmers market - there isn’t a lot of GDP there so that’s probably the reason. Unless someone is trying to sell raw milk but that’s an entirely different issue.
Your semi psychotic screeching doesn’t suit you. Try a different approach.
You suffer from a severe case of TDS.

No screech. I replied to and countered a statement. It is the core purpose of a discussion forum. You might wanna "give it a shot" some day and try to venture beyond simplistic insults.

What did I say that was incorrect?
What is our tarrif on OPEC's oil?
Maybe we could subsidise domestic production, our guys could use the work.
It is all a cesspool of smoke, mirrors and lies.
If i may, As far as I am aware there are exceptions on Tariffs in oil and gas sector. Canada and mexico, which make up over 80% of US imports of oil, with OPEC as well. Saudi being 7% and Iraq being 4%.
Meaning there are none.
