Rewritten Title: U.S. Trade Surplus: Key Factors in Trump's Calculation of Reciprocal Tariff Rates

7 April, 2025

The new tariffs announced by the Trump administration are based on existing trade balances, deviating from previous commitments. The U.S. Trade Representative detailed the calculation method in a statement, which is based on 2024 data. It takes the ratio of a country's trade surplus with the U.S. to its total exports to the U.S., then divides by two to arrive at an equivalent tariff rate. For example, China has a trade surplus of $295 billion with the U.S. and total exports to the U.S. amount to $438 billion, resulting in an equivalent tariff of 34%. The same method can be applied to economies like Japan, South Korea, and the European Union, which will face a uniform equivalent tariff of 10%. The Trump administration emphasized that while the specific influencing factors are complex, this calculation helps achieve the goal of reducing the trade deficit. It is noteworthy that the announced tariff rates differ from the figures in the executive order. Trump's formula also considers import demand and price elasticity.
