His recent move to implement reciprocal tariffs was decided "for purposes of Fairness," Trump wrote.
"For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT [value-added tax] System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff," Trump wrote. "Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted."
