I have to suspect it’s 200b yen, even though the article states “$200 billion”. The later with a 15% tarrif would imply $1.33 trillion in US sales in the last year, which I highly doubt

According to news sites, the US government took in about $166 billion, although I’m also seeing $175 billion floating around. CBP is claiming that they can’t comply with the refund order as quickly as they want because of technological and manpower excuses. They’re claiming that the large number of refunds and the current manpower is limiting their ability to quickly issue these refunds.

Manpower? They could use the ICE idiots as manpower

You expect them to be able to read numbers?

They’d be awfully upset if they could read what you just suggested.

The article states $166 billion in duties and tariffs total, not from Nintendo products. It doesn’t actually state an amount for Nintendo in particular.
