Trump announces trade deal with UK

The only problem is.......there is no deal.


It is an announcement that there might be a trade deal. The UK PM has a several minute announcement. He does not mention a trade deal has been reached. He announces one will be worked on in the coming weeks.


So much like Trump.......so bombastic.

BREAKING NEWS


"The trade announcement was short on details and nothing was signed during the event."

MAGA sycophants are the epitome of gullibility.

The difference between the UK PM, who is a leader, and Trump, who is a blabbering bully salesman,
could not be more displayed on view than today.

Your post should read…..”possible trade deal announced by Trump, we hope Great Britain is agreeable to it’s contents”

But your Trump Derangement Syndrome compels you to look at only the negative.

Let's see, the current tariff is 1% and they account for 3% of US trade. So assuming it drops all the way to zero that's a 1% improvement on 3%...

So if Trump hadn't have started this stupid shit, we'd be basically be in the same boat?

We already had a trade surplus of almost $12bln with the UK. Let me know when China wants to actually talk to dumb dumb so we can get the markets out of chaos.

It is kind of easy to bully a country when you are already winning. Hell, the UK just wants to send over their shitty Jaguars and Range Rovers to us. Haha

In all seriousness, it's a least a start if/when the deal is completed although the UK hardly affects the current state of volatility in our economy. But you have to start somewhere so hopefully it's a launch point to something bigger and better.

The core of the deal is essentially a trade where the UK will get a lowering of US duties on key sectors. Most in focus are steel — US duties on UK-made steel will drop from 25% to 0% — and car exports, where duties are set to be reduced from 27.5% to 10% according to a release from the UK.

In return, Prime Minister Starmer is offering concessions to open the UK markets more to things like US autos, ethanol, machinery, and agricultural products, as well as ongoing negotiations on so-called digital service taxes that hit US tech companies.

... See? ... The Trade Deal! ... WINNING! ... ...

In case you missed it, there was no trade deal signed.

It is only Trump doing what he always does.

Can any of the maggies here produce the final dry ink 200+ *good* deals donny has made?

Anyone?

Buehller?

... Blimey! ... Sulk when the trade agreement is announced. ...
And sulk when the trade agreement is not announced ...

The same Democrat mantra...

... MORE trade agreements will be announced soon... Just wait! ..

As that wise Australian Confuchiss bloke would always say:
"You surely don't count yer money - until the dealings are done!"

Salty misses yet another point.


It's not the tariffs. It is Trump announcing a magnificent trade deal......when there is none.


The same thing when Trump announces he is going to have "Big Things" at an upcoming news conference......and there are none.

... President Trump's been on for WHAT?? Three months??

Let's wait another few weeks and see the results. ...
