The orange slime’s “liberation day” stated method is to enact a tariff against every country roughly(?) equal to half their current “tariff” against U.S. imports.
According to his tote-board the means that they used to associate a single “tariff” amount with a specific “country” (including some uninhabited areas like the Heard and McDonald Islands) is simply to take the trade deficit the states have with that area and divide it (compute the percentage) by their current exports to the states: <trade_deficit>/<export_valuation>*100 → not any actual tariff of that area involved (m’gawd …the stupidity!)
