Original Note:
This figure is impossible. In 2024, total US imports were $3.35 trillion for the entire year. For this figure to be accurate, the effective tariff rate would have to be around 230%, but the effective tariff rate is only 18.6%. https://www.usimportdata.com/blogs/usa-total-imports-2024-us-import-by-country https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state-us-tariffs-august-7-2025
