The deal includes reduced tariffs on U.K. cars, duty-free steel imports, and increased access for U.S. beef and ethanol. While hailed as "historic" by the White House, economists were skeptical about its economic impact, noting the U.K. is not a major enough trade partner to significantly affect the U.S. economy.
do what now? Are these the same sort of companies who vote NO for healthcare reform and for trump? *one wonders*The deal does not include changes to the U.K.'s digital services tax or provide U.S. companies with additional access to the U.K.'s national health service, though negotiations are expected to continue in those areas.
In a shocking announcement that interrupted regular programming on CNN News, President Donald Trump downplayed the urgency of trade deals he had previously promised.
After boasting about imminent "deals" for weeks, the President revealed during an Oval Office meeting with Canada's Prime Minister on Tuesday that such agreements may not be as critical after all. Trump boldly claimed, "We don't have to sign deals."
He continued, "We could sign 25 deals right now, Howard, if we wanted to. We don't have to sign deals. They have to sign deals with us. They want our market. We don't want a piece of their market. We don't care about their market."
trump trumpeting huge deal with UK, but it's not that much of a big trading partner with the US anyway... he also says to expect 3 more deals with countries in the next few days. That'll make 4 out of 90(?)

After the first deal, it’s still not clear what the goal of Trump’s tariffs is.
Can’t have both.
- Protectionist high tariffs to shield US manufacturing from competition
- Negotiating away tariffs to spur international trade
much like trump's announcement of a national holiday today, May 8thIt’s ALL BULLSHIT.
It was ALWAYS ALL BULLSHIT.
We. Told. Them. So.

much like trump's announcement of a national holiday today, May 8th
what's closed? nuthin', not the banks, not the stock market, not the mail delivery, not government offices, no retail or grocery stores... wow, that's some impressive flex of presidential power, isn't it? Announce a new national holiday that actually isn't a holiday for anyone. At all.

The same program was tried under Obama.
More winning for the American people, thanks to their President.

U.S. stocks roared back on Monday after the U.S. and China agreed to temporarily slash tariffs following negotiations over the weekend in Switzerland, raising hopes a trade war won’t push the economy into a recession.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1037 points, or 2.5%, staying near its highs for most of the session with buying enthusiasm remaining strong. The S&P 500 popped nearly 3% on Monday, bringing its gain since its April intraday low at the height of tariff pessimism to more than 20%. The benchmark has cut its year-to-date losses to just 0.9%.
The Nasdaq Composite boomed by 4%, as the initial China agreement sent technology stocks tied to the country — like Tesla and Apple — flying higher.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday that talks with China had been “very productive” and both countries had agreed to cut tariffs temporarily. U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods were brought down to 30, and Chinese tariffs on U.S. imports were slashed to 10%. Bessent told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday that he expects to meet once again with representatives from Beijing in the “next few weeks” to start ironing out a bigger agreement.

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that consumer prices increased 2.3% over the prior year in April, a slowdown from March's 2.4% and below economists' forecast for 2.4%. This marked the lowest annual increase since February 2021, before a large increase in inflation sparked a Federal Reserve interest rate hiking cycle.
Lowest annual inflation rate since February, 2021. Other than better than expected inflation numbers, jobs numbers, stock market indexes, and cheap gas, the economy is tanking.
