Work with your government to drop the tariffs on the US. Problem solved.

  Or just wait for Tunisia to gradually replace tariffed goods with EU and Chinese equivalents. Problem also solved?

    They could've done that before.

  From what I've understood from that chart, the "percentage" is just a difference between imports/exports with the USA. It's not actual tariffs in place by Tunisia ON USA goods. Am I right/wrong ? Or is Tunisia tariffing the hell out of US Olive Oil in order to protect their local production base

Tunisia applies a shit ton of tariffs on the US imports.

  Are you trolling?

    No, Tunisia imposes tariffs on U.S. imports. If they want to avoid our tariffs, they can remove theirs, and we'll do the same.

      But Trump hasn't calculated these tariffs based on their tariffs. He's calculated it based on trade surplus.
