Wow the actual tariff rates vs those disclosed by the White House are wildly different.

Today's exemptions caused the tariff rate on computers to drop from 41% to 5% & the rate on phones to drop from 65% to 10%

Cars remain the largest tariff-affected import, with goods made primarily in China (batteries, toys, game consoles) being hit with the highest tariffs (3/3)
