Tariffs, Tech Promises, and a Whole Lot of Spin - This Isn't a Trade Deal, It's an Attempt to Move The Market's/Make People Think the US is Winning....
Trump Trade Scam, not a deal, he is misleading all Nations of the World, It's corrupt method of distracting everyone, UK bent the knee, to placate! They are wimps! ?there is no Trade deal 90 days is full of s-ht like him.
You make some interesting comments. However, your labeling Carney as a "rookie" political player assumes that Carney is in the same game as Trump. He's not. Carney has clearly indicated to America that Canada is no longer playing Trump's game and Canada is going a different way. Underestimating someone of Carney's experience and intelligence is a mistake. Since he stepped into the role a few months ago, he has been getting Canada's ducks in a row by meeting multiple times with the EU, Japan, UK, Mexico, Australia, Sweden and other nations, making trade and security deals. Carney has a plan for the long game. For example, he has invited Zelenskyy and Scheinbaum to the G7.
While Trump gets involved with Bitcoin, and selling out the US economy for fake assets and fool's gold, Carney is buying and encouraging other countries to purchase US Treasury bonds, i.e., real assets. Then, he'll lead "the charge". But only when all of Canada's ducks are lined up and ready.
Carney is known globally as a crisis manager. Trump is a crisis creator. Carney has the respect and ear of the rest of the world's democracies. Trump does not.
Like all bullies, Trump is dangerous to the world, to be sure, but mostly because he has dismantled and destabilized so much that the rest of the world is now actively filling the void left by his greed, to mobilize against the United States of America in masterful efforts of communal self-preservation. ❤️🇨🇦
Perception is everything in the game Trump plays. Always has been, always will be.
And setting up the visit of Mark Carney on the eve of announcing a 'deal' (no matter how comprehensive it is in reality) with Britain was a win for Trump because making this deal with Carney's commonwealth country's country APPEARS to make Carney and Canada look betrayed by their own.
And Carney fell for it by showing up. And it showed Carney as the 'rookie' political player.
That's ALL THAT MATTERS in Trumpworld.
And of course, to the world at large.
Carney has to follow the Japanese playbook now.
Ignore Trump.
Carney should NEVER go back to D.C. or step away from his promise to make Canada a strong
independent nation and DIVORCE THE U.S. and all dependence on a friend turned enemy.
Sorry, @Ann, but I choose to disagree. Mark Carney is NOT a "rookie" - he happens to be new to only branded politics. He performed brilliantly, and said all of the things the dumpster wanted hear, while telling the rest of us what a dick trump is, has been, and continues to be.
I suggest that the timing is mere coincidence - trump can't work out what day it is, let alone plan two meetings to his advantage.
Thanks for parsing this out Dean. This is so little a trade deal, that Jeff Tiedrich mentions it, but just posts a link as an afterthought on this trade deal. The rest is about how no one else in the Trump administration can do anything right. It sounds like Trump has dug the US into a deep hole with China.
"Trump teases ‘very big announcement’ coming soon, hints 'it's going to be truly earth-shattering'"
“'Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One,' University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers posted on X, 'the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martins, Range Rovers and Minis.' Wolfers noted that “no other consumer good received carveouts” from the US-UK trade framework. "The UK exported only about 90,000 cars to the United States last year, [my note: but his royal High-nass is allowing 100,000 — of which 10,000 no one wants] according to S&P Global Mobility, making it the sixth-largest source of imported vehicles, responsible for only 1% of imported cars. But Commerce Department data showed that the value of its imported cars came to $12.3 billion, meaning the average price of a British import was more than $135,000."

FWIW Completely agree.
His whole shtick is promoting houses of cards, but he only has jokers...

Dean, thanks for the details, how on earth do you do it, and the podcast!
What are the implications of this for Canada and Mark Carney? Will this put pressure on him to follow the UK? Be a “good” Commonwealth member?
The Orange Sadist is a complete and total POS.
From "The Hindustan Times":
"Trump teases ‘very big announcement’ coming soon, hints 'it's going to be truly earth-shattering'"
“'Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One,' University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers posted on X, 'the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martins, Range Rovers and Minis.'

Is Trump intentionally trying to cause disruption in democratic alliances by cherry picking his 'deals'???
