I'm a bit skeptical about modelling the pain of tariffs without knowing what the counter tariffs will be?
The EU has their own analysts whose job is to design tariffs with minimal harm to the EU while maximizing pressure on US companies.
Or does the US exclusively export products to the EU/UK that we have no conceivable alternatives to?
