          Sadly there are many reports, that it’s just

          
          for (c in countries) { 
              c.tariffs = math.max(10,
                  (c.exportsTo(us) - c.importFrom(us)) /
                  (c.exportsTo(us)*2))
          }

      It’s the trade deficit masquerading as a tarrif - Moldova sells more than it buys from America because American stuff is expensive and Moldova can’t afford to buy American goods so it gets hit with “reciprocal” tariffs on it’s exports.
