Updated tariff rates:
10% for all countries except -
China - 145%, not the 125%
Mexico, Canada: USMCA complaint goods 0%, non-compliant 25%, energy and potash 10%.

No pesky equations were used to derive these numbers.

U.S. markets are currently down 4%-5%.

Economic uncertainty update: The thing about veering wildly between policy positions, favouring and then discarding a new maverick advisor each week, and using contradictory justifications at every turn, is that even if one particular pivot is in the direction of sanity, chaos is the constant.
