I did that’s why I said it and was my point
Colombia is being hit with a 10% tarriff despite having a free trade agreement with America and U.S. having a trade surplus with them

Colombia and the U.S., despite their free trade agreement, now have reciprocal 10% tariffs on each other’s products.
Colombia’s Foreign Minister, Laura Sarabia, reacted to the decision, stating: “The Trump administration’s measures are not directed solely at Colombia but are part of a global decision that reorganizes the rules of world trade. Protecting our national industry and our exports will be our main objective.”

So before Trump we had a free trade agreement with Colombia. No tarriffs
Colombia bought $19 billion a year from us
We bought $14 billion from them
And now we’re going to add a 10% tariff to that?

I have no idea what they had before, but whatever it was or wasn’t it doesn’t sound like Columbia is worried about it. Don’t know why you are.
“We see this as an opportunity for our country, not only for... diversifying markets, but also as an opportunity for our products to be competitive even in the US market itself, understanding that the tariff imposed on Colombia is one of the lowest. This allows us to review other products that arrive in the United States under better conditions," Sarabia said.”

vat tax is a consumption tax, it is exempt when exporting to other countries

They’re saying it will make them more competive because they have lower than the rest.
But again, we have a trade surplus with Colombia. We buy way more stuff from them. The consumer pays the tariff. We just taxed ourselves

Perfectly fine with the tariffs if we get rid of the federal income tax. According many this is where Trump is moving so naturally, there will be a tariff on every nation. 10% being the minimum although I had originally heard it was 20%.

So how do you explain Vietnam?
We buy $150 billion worth of goods from them, they buy $10 billion from us
They had 1% tariff and we just put a 50% tariff on them
