Why No Tariff Deals So Far with Ass Kisser Nations?

In reply to Walco

Remember that after Brexit UK was trying their hardest to get something going with the US in terms of trade as Brexit left them out in the cold. So this might be larger in scope than the current Tariffs. I guess we will see but it could also mean that UK Prime Minister is only letting orange idiot know that he has his Trump Crypto receipt so he can shut up now.

The other thing to note about all this Tariff talk, it is also a diversion from the diversion, as last week and this week the house has been trying to pass a CR budget with 3-4 trillion of tax cuts for the billionaires and to lift the debt ceiling for the length of the Trump administration and almost a trillion in cuts to social security, Medicaid etc. While Republicans lying to their constituents about not touching social security while messing with Social Security. So guess what's not being talked about in the media....
If you notice these tariffs are being constantly postponed, for a reason....while the GOP is doing their dirty work in the back ground, lying to their constituents- he wants to mask any GOP announcement on the budget with these Tariffs conversation. My guess is that the announcement of a deal with the UK or other deals will coincide with the passing of that CR in attempt to shift the conversation away from the CR.

And in a sense they are linked, as if the US continues to create distrust and uncertainty with its partners/allies there is no way they will be able to raise enough cash/sell enough bonds to fund those tax cuts.. then all hell will break loose?

It would take a lot more than one month to negotiate a trade deal, unless talks started during the Biden administration. But whatever UK ass kissing deal is announced will likely be smoke and mirrors to be followed with details at a later date.

It takes an average of 18 months to complete a trade agreement. The USMC took that long.

I think that is the point I was trying to make but completely messed it up that whatever they might be announcing with the British might have been something that was in the works a long time before given that since Brexit they been looking for some kind of favored trade status. But as you said, its more likely to be smoke and mirrors. And it would be interesting that the British would be the first out the gate cuz if you remember the Prime Minister pushed back real hard when Trump and Vance tried to hustle Zelensky at the Whitehouse.

I'm still waiting for a tariff deal with one of the many ass kissing nations

The first ass-kisser nation has been identified and it is none other than the Starmer Isles But the deal has not been finalized and signed, and I'm wondering why the United States "needs" a trade deal with a country with which it has a trade surplus ...

The devil will be in the details, but reports are that the Brits are holding out for total elimination of Tariff Man's 10% across the board tariff

More caving!!!

That 80% will be 10% soon with many loopholes for friends and family

In reply to googley

Tariff Man's capitulation was even more than expected. 80% is down to 30%. He's trying to clean up the mess he created, so let's see what he comes up with in 90 days

This is just another round of the 'pump' phase of the stock market manipulation.

In a month or two it will be time for the 'dump' phase and he'll do or say some stupid shit which will start the mass sell off once again.

Good luck to all you fellas who have your retirement dollars and life savings in the stock market casino.

To answer the question:
Well, the answer is not many can afford a $400million dollar jet, or $600 billion dollar investments...
The whole Tariff mess is a grand pay for play, illegal, criminal scam being propagated by Trump...to make money for himself.

Big clue, Trump DOJ announced as soon Beach Blonde Bondi arrived at the DOJ that they will not prosecute bribery..
