No country with a supposed rate above 20% got hit with less than half from tRump.

Afghanistan is supposedly charging US 49% but they got hit with a sweetheart rate of only 10%, not 25%.

What's up with that?

Stock futures of the SP500, Nasdaq and Dow got beaten down 3%, 4%, and 2% respectively. They have since come back to 2.7%, 3.25%, and 1.9%.
