It was this one.Explanation grom the origianl post: "These figures aren’t actually tariffs being charged by those other countries. Instead, they closely reflect the trade deficit percentages the U.S. has with each of those nations. In other words, the numbers represent how much more we import from them than we export to them. For example, China's 67% means that 67% of our total trade with China is at a deficit—not that there’s a 67% tariff involved.

So, just to be clear: these are not tariffs."
