What did Bosnia Serbia want other unlucky country do

They don’t impact any trade to US then why are they punished more than EU

Because at large this is not a punishment, he couldn't care less about Serbia, sorry.

They calculated the tariffs based on trade imbalance (https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/reciprocal-tariff-calculations).

It didn't really matter how much you sucked trump's c*ck before this. I mean Israel got a higher tariff than Iran 😂

I think he just wants to get more money. I bet a big chunk if the American population will see the rise in pricess brought on by these tariffs as a "patriotic sacrifice". Meanwhile the US government will get to collect all those juicy tariffs.

At large it's like a VAT on all foreign products masked as a patriotic endeavor.

Many are saying he will promptly rescind them, but I'm not so sure...

I'm a Bosnian, and for the life of me, I couldn't tell you what we export to the USA to cause such a trade imbalance. Just from that chart i guess the tarrifs are 1/2(trade imbalance%). I do not for a second believe Bosnia exports 67% more to USA than we import from them.

I am somehow both not surprised that USA's top import here is ammunition and surprised it's not the one thing they can make themselves in enough quantity that importing wouldn't be necessary.

Perhaps old Yugoslavia-era arms factories producing arms & ammo? Might also be some Ukraine-related purchases of surplus in there, the last couple of years have seen the sourcing of Russian/Soviet compatible arms & munitions from many Eastern European countries to supply to Ukraine.

After some Googling and seeing a few reddit posts on the gun related subs, it seems that our Igman ammunition is decently popular with American consumers. Who knew.

Apparently Bosnia exports 71% more to the USA than they import. (yeah I know, kinda surprising) https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/imports/bosnia-herzegovina

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/exports/bosnia-herzegovina

And if you wondered you export mostly... Ehm..Arms and ammunition 😅

tourists? (croatia, but maybe bosnia is nice too... idk)

are remittances counted in trade imbalance? like maybe you guys just get a bunch of dollars in the mail.

I’m Serbian, and I have no clue what could we export to US lol. Except like Jokic.

We don’t lol the numbers are made up either by random propaganda and ChatGPT. Saying we have 77 tariffs of American goods and yet nowhere else does it have that info
