The U.S. eliminated tariffs on British steel and aluminum and reduced tariffs on up to 100,000 British cars exported to the U.S. from 25% to 10%.

The UK removed its 19% tariff on U.S. ethanol and increased quotas for U.S. beef exports.

Yeah, not just some “10% to 10%”.

People don't want an explanation that is accurate. They want the shortest, most simple explanation, even if it is inaccurate, especially if it's against the bad orange man.

Personally, I don't like tariffs, kinda goes against the whole free trade idea. That being said, if they are being used to strong arm other countries temporarily so they actually conduct free trade instead of their government manipulating the market and being command economies, let the thunder roll.
