Tariff Troubles: Do They Even Understand VAT?

A screenshot of a Twitter thread showing a tweet by Simon Lester criticizing Stephen Miller's claim that VAT is an unfair trade barrier. The tweet includes a quote from Miller where he argues that if the U.S. is charged 30% VAT on cars from Europe, then Europe must charge the same 30% on American cars for reciprocity. The tweet is overlaid with the text: 'If all of this talk about "reciprocal" tariffs is really going to focus on the VAT ... things are going to get complicated.'
