The US already had pretty favourable trade deals with most of the world. The trade deficit wasn’t because of tariff barriers to US goods overseas.

But the countries hit with high tariffs have specifically uneven trade arrangements.

When countries put a high tariff on US goods while enjoying low or no tariffs when exporting to the US - that’s an unfair arrangement.
