So is the new trade deal better or worse than the agreement the US had with Japan last week?

How did team Biden improve the trade deal with Japan in 4 years?

I can answer for you, but I have faith in you.

Ive noticed you dont like to listen too well, only try to prove your point that Trump sucks.
This thread is about tariffs, not immigration policy. We've actually been have having the comprehensive immigration reform discussion since esrly in the W admin.

Trump's tariff plan and negotiating style is unique among all modern presidents. So I simply can't agree it boils down to political climate.

This is why we can't just listen to Tariffman bloviate and need to see the signed deals

Oh no.

This is surely the moment that tanks the economy and the markets. We are doomed.

All of this “tariff news” is priced into the market. And the market is telling you the fear mongering is exactly that.

We've already covered that Tariffman had to walk back his tariff plan. Multiple times. Multiple delays. And he's short asf on deals.

Don't listen to him bloviate. Watch what he actually gets signed.

How much beef do you expect to export to Australia, btw?

Something that many folks may have forgotten about. We'll all want to pay attention to this case.

you are just dragging this out for no other reason than tds


did you get the memo the market is at an all time high ... TODAY?


U.S. stocks close at an all-time high just months after plunging from Trump trade worries

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy...-trade-worries


Economy Jun 27, 2025 5:04 PM EDT U.S. stocks closed at an all-time high Friday, another milestone in the market’s remarkable recovery from a springtime plunge caused by fears that the Trump administration’s trade policies could harm the economy.


The S&P 500 rose 0.5%, finishing above its previous record set in February. The key measure of Wall Street’s health fell nearly 20% from February 19 through April 8.


The market’s complete turnaround from its deep swoon happened in about half the time that it normally takes, said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA.



your narrative of a trade war market crash never happened.


in fact, it's at all time records


bahahaaaa

I can forgive you for missing the TACO factor. The markets no longer believe he's a man of his word on tariffs.

That didn’t age well.

Now quick, change the messaging to “this is just a general framework and no official deal signed”.

It’s also being reported the EU will tariff US goods at 0%, essentially eliminating that trade barrier.

On July 27, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a framework trade deal with the European Union following talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland. The agreement sets a 15% tariff on most EU goods entering the U.S., including cars, lower than the previously threatened 30% but higher than the EU’s preferred 10%. The EU agreed to purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy and invest an additional $600 billion in the U.S., alongside buying military equipment. The deal leaves the 50% tariff on steel and aluminum unchanged, with semiconductor tariffs to be addressed later. This preliminary agreement aims to ease tensions before an August 1 deadline, though details remain to be finalized.

The US economy has upside.

“It is about rebalancing," EUs von der Leyen said as she sat next to Trump. "You can call it fairness, you can call it rebalancing. We have a surplus and the United States has a deficit, and we have to rebalance it."

Here’s details of the US/EU deal posted from EU President, Ursula von der Leyen.

She’s gonna pull out any second. Or at least some of you are hoping for that.

Don't have to.

The bond markets, Scott Bessent, the amount of our debt that Japan and China hold and the stock market slide turned made him shift and order the TACO platter.

We're on Tariffman's plan R-14, v9.34 now. And GM's focused on record tax (tariff) revenue from U.S. importers while Trump's still pretending that foreign countries are paying all that money to us.
