The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

For those who do not understand the nuances of reciprocal trade policies, how difficult is it to actually identify specifically what the tariffs are for each country vis-a-vis the US? I understand there is some sleight of hand going by conflating trade deficits with tariffs, but surely there must be a respected economist or two who can publish a chart showing exactly what each tariff is that is currently being imposed on each country. Then, use that as a point of departure for negotiations to equalize and/or ratchet down each tariff, ideally all the way to zero. This can’t be that difficult or complex unless I am missing something. It’s not rocket science but it just seems to me that we are instead battling a contest of stubborn political will, instead of simply comparing and contrasting the mutually accepted data by each side and go from there to discuss perceived unfairness with the goal of restoring balance.
