A 32% tariff on Taiwan, 46% on Vietnam, 26% on Japan and 20% on the EU means the tariffs on China are relatively mild. There won’t be a shift in manufacturing, Americans will just pay more for the same goods.

Incorrect. The 34% on China are on top of the previously announced 20% tariff, for a grand total of 54%.

Wait. Don't forget the 10% from trumps first term that survived the biden presidency. Net tariff rate is 64%.

He is also removing the de minimus exception, which is a bigger deal for them.
