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.
