I believe he's trying to say "here's other examples of CHEATING other countries do to us that are unrelated to tariffs". Who knows.

I think he's saying things other than tariffs that affect how many dollars the US could make selling shit to your country.

Thing is, the list doesn't make sense. Yeah most countries have VAT. 1) So does the US, it's called sales tax. 2) I pay VAT equally on American, Estonian or German goods. What's the problem?

The problem is that he is a fascist and fascists always need an external enemy to blame.
