Nothing. ChatGtp simply calculated Vietnams Import vs Export to the USA and slapped 46% on Vietnam for exporting more than importing.
Which doesn't make any sense, plus ignores services, non material imports.

It's still 10% now, with currently 145% on China, so the Switch isn't out of hot water yet. Plus who knows what Trump is doing in 90 days, he only announced a pause. Nintendo can use their Vietnam production for the US, already 60% of US' Switches come from Vietnam and over half of all Switches are produced in Vietnam and Cambodia. (Which would have gotten 49% tarrif yesterday).

So for now Nintendo can increase US production in Vietnam and Cambodia to service 100% of the US from these places at 10% tarrifs, import and store then in US warehouses before July 8th when the 90 day pause is up.

That is of course if those plants are already making Switch 2, if the Switch 2 plants are in China then it's more fucked than before.

ChatGPT? That's how he's doing this? Just when I thought he couldn't get any stupider. -_-

Speculative, however he claims not and it would actually be an insult to ChatGTP lol

Not only are tariffs not 'reciprocal,' they're based on simple trade deficit formula, experts say

For example all the money Hollywood makes from the Chinese market is not considered at all, hence China now reducing Hollywood presence in China to retaliate.

"If you look at the formula, it's literally one variable divided by another variable, times 0.5. You could write this on the back of a cracker.... It looks like they were just trying to hide the fact that they did this in the most reductive, lazy way imaginable," Grozoubinski said.
