Summary

Critics accused Trump and his administration of using ChatGPT to create its new tariff formula, which mirrors AI-generated outputs.

Commentators highlighted that the tariffs appear based on a simplistic calculation: divide the U.S. trade deficit with a country by total imports, or default to 10%.

Analysts slammed the approach as flawed and dangerous.

Markets reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 falling over 4% and Nasdaq dropping more than 5%.
