When announcing Mutual ratesWednesday, 2, President Donald Trump Showed the numbers raised by doubts. In a column, he pointed out to the tariffs that other countries will collect from the US. The tariff shows that Americans will charge each other next to it.
However, the rates of the United States are not realistic. In this statement, this account has considered non -tax obstacles and other locks from every country to American products.
Despite this, a few hours later, the White House counting idea was another.
The UTR (United States Representative Office) Website has released an equation shown at the top of the report, which shows the principle of dividing a country’s commercial surplus with the US by exports based on US senses data in 2024.
This number was divided into two, called the Trump of discount.

For example, China had a commercial surplus of $ 295 billion last year, with a 68%ratio of $ 438 billion about total China’s exports. According to the Trump formula, it is divided into two, resulting in a 34%rate. The same calculations have produced approximately rates for other economies such as Japan, South Korea and the European Union.
The US registered countries are also affected by the commercial surplus, which faces a 10%fixed rate, as well as countries that are approximately balanced by trade. It is in the case of Brazil, as well as dozens of countries. See the full list at the end of the report.
Parameters
There are two more parameters in Trump’s principle-the price elasticity of importing and importing imports in relation to baby. However, in the equation, these elements are kept with effective values, resulting in multiplication.
The USTR said that even though it is technically possible to calculate rates for real trade obstacles, the White House methodology is achieving trade deficits.
“Although the impacts of the ten thousand tariffs, regulations, taxes, taxes and other policies are individually calculated, if not impossible, they can assess their mixed effects when calculating the tariff level in accordance with the removal of bilateral trade deficits,” the statement said.
