2. You'll not guess which one country is claimed to be imposing 49% tariffs but got hit w minimum 10%:

Afghanistan

No other country supposedly above 20% got such favourable treatment. Every country assessed at above 20% got their tariff set at half the assessed rate.

3. Great Point! I Didn't Even Register That One...

But of course...

4. The chart of countries & tariffs is bizarre. There is no order. Not alphabetical, not trade size, not percentages. nt

6. Competency? Heard & McDonald Isl on chart, is uninhabitied. on chart, Brit Indian Ocean Terr is inhabit only by soldiers

The Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands[2][3] (HIMI;[4] ISO 3166 region code: HMD, HM, 334;[5]) is an Australian external territory comprising a volcanic group of mostly barren Antarctic islands, about two-thirds of the way from Madagascar to Antarctica. The group's overall land area is 372 km2 (144 sq mi) and it has 101.9 km (63 mi) of coastline. Discovered in the mid-19th century, the islands lie on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Ocean and have been an Australian territory since 1947.
[...]
Despite the lack of population, the islands have been assigned the country code HM in ISO 3166-1 (ISO 3166-2:HM) and therefore the Internet top-level domain .hm. The time zone of the islands is UTC+5.[56] Despite the islands having no imports or exports, the United States implemented a 10% tariff against them in April 2025.[57]

The British Indian Ocean Territory is inhabited only by soldiers. Which soldiers? You guessed it: United States of America and UK soldiers.

That is the level of competency of the tRump regime.

7. We can get some tariff revenue from heroin

but if anyone was actually curious, the US imports carpets, grapes, and dried fruits from Afghanistan. Not much else until MAGA adopts their policies on women and gay people.

16. All they export is oil and vodka.

They are a gas station with nukes, and they don't make anything else. But, not surprising that Trump didn't impose tariffs on them. Not that it matters, because they're on the verge of economic collapse themselves.

We only exported to Russia $526 Million. Good grief, that is an unbelievable trade deficit yet Trump ignored it.
