Yeah, I've actually thought of that. It makes sense that the other nearby countries have the same tariff just as us. But what I'm pointing out is that if the same tariff will be applied to us, our government shouldn't went there with a lot of delegations and representatives. Even Trump mentioned that on his post in truth social and that means a lot of money has been spent on that just to lower it to 1% for that attendance..
True but I still think you are greatly overestimating the quantity of money that is needed for such a one time trip. Besides that money is already part of the budget. If not on that trip, they would have spent it on another probably equally useless trip. The money issue is much deeper than this single trip.
