Create Account White House trade adviser Peter Navarro predicted '90 deals in 90 days.' Administration officials declared that other countries were desperate to make concessions to avoid the massive import taxes _ tariffs — that Trump was threatening to plaster on their products starting July 9. But the 90 days have come and gone. And the tally of trade deals stands at two — one with the United Kingdom and one with Vietnam. Trump has also announced the framework for a deal with China, the details of which remain fuzzy. Trump has now extended the deadline for negotiations to Aug. 1 and tinkered with his threatened tariffs, leaving the global trading system pretty much where it stood three months ago — in a state of limbo as businesses delay decisions on investments, contracts and hiring because they don't know what the rules will be. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It's a rerun, basically,' said William Reinsch, a former U.S. trade official who's now an adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. Trump and his team 'don't have the deals they want. So they're piling on the threats.' The pattern has repeated itself enough times to earn Trump the label TACO — an acronym coined by The Financial Times' Robert Armstrong that stands for 'Trump Always Chickens Out.' 'This is classic Trump: Threaten, threaten more, but then extend the deadline,' Reinsch said. 'July 30 arrives, does he do it again if he still doesn't have the deals?' (Trump said Tuesday that there will be no more extensions.) The deal drought represents a collision with reality. Negotiating simultaneously with every country on earth was always an impossible task, as Trump himself belatedly admitted last month in an interview with the Fox News Channel. ('There's 200 countries,' the president said. 'You can't talk to all of them.') And many trading partners — such as Japan and the European Union _ were always likely to balk at Trump's demands, at least without getting something in return.

'It's really, really hard to negotiate trade agreements,' which usually takes several months even when it involves just one country or a small regional group, said Chad Bown, an economic adviser in the Obama White House and now senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. 'What the administration is doing is negotiating a bunch of these at the same time.' The drama began April 2 — 'Liberation Day,' Trump called it _ when the tariff-loving president announced a so-called baseline 10% import tax on everybody and what he called 'reciprocal' levies of up to 50% on countries with which the United States runs trade deficits. The 10% baseline tariffs appear to be here to stay. Trump needs them to raise money to patch the hole his massive tax-cut bill is blasting into the federal budget deficit. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. By themselves, the baseline tariffs represent a massive shift in American trade policy: Tariffs averaged around 2.5% when Trump returned to the White House and were even lower before he started raising them in his first term. But the reciprocal tariffs are an even bigger deal. In announcing them, Trump effectively blew up the rules governing world trade. For decades, the United States and most other countries abided by tariff rates set through a series of complex negotiations known as the Uruguay round. Countries could set their own tariffs — but under the 'most favored nation' approach, they couldn't charge one country more than they charged another. Now Trump is setting the tariff rates himself, creating 'tailor-made trade plans for each and every country on this planet,' in the words of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. But investors have recoiled at the audacious plan, fearing that it will disrupt trade and damage the world economy. Trump's Liberation Day tariffs, for instance, set off a four-day rout in global financial markets. Trump blinked. Less than 13 hours after the reciprocal tariffs took effect April 9, he abruptly suspended them for 90 days, giving countries time to negotiate with his trade team. Despite the Trump administration's expressions of confidence, the talks turned into a slog. 'Countries have their own politics, their own domestic politics,' Reinsch said. 'Trump structured this ideally so that all the concessions are made by the other guys and the only U.S. concession is: We don't impose the tariffs.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. But countries like South Korea and Japan needed 'to come back with something,' he said. Their thinking: 'We have to get some concessions out of the United States to make it look like this is a win-win agreement and not a we-fold-and-surrender agreement. ' Japan, for example, wanted relief from another Trump tariff _ 50% levies on steel and aluminum. Countries may also be hesitant to reach a deal with the United States while the Trump administration conducts investigations that might result in new tariffs on a range of products, including pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Trump on Monday sent letters to Japan, South Korea and 12 other countries, saying he'd hit them with tariffs Aug. 1 if they couldn't reach an agreement. The levies were close to what he'd announced on April 2; Japan's, for example, would be 25%, compared to the 24% unveiled April 2.

Read More Trump did sign an agreement last month with the United Kingdom that, among other provisions, reduced U.S. tariffs on British automotive and aerospace products while opening the U.K. market for American beef and ethanol. But the pact kept the baseline tariff on British products mostly in place, underlining Trump's commitment to the 10% tax despite the United States running a trade surplus — not a deficit — with the U.K. for 19 straight years, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. On July 2. Trump announced a deal with Vietnam. The Vietnamese agreed to let U.S. products into the country duty free while accepting a 20% tax on their exports to the United States, Trump said, though details of the agreement have not been released. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The lopsided deal with Vietnam suggests that Trump can successfully use the tariff threat to bully concessions out of smaller economies. 'They just can't really negotiate in the same way that the (European Union) or Korea or Japan (or) Canada can negotiate with the United States,' said Dan McCarthy, principal in McCarthy Consulting and a former official with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative in the Biden administration. 'A lot of (smaller) countries just want to get out of this and are willing to cut their losses.' But wrangling a deal with bigger trading partners is likely to remain tougher. 'The U.S. is gambling that these countries will ultimately be intimidated and fold,' Reinsch said. 'And the countries are gambling that the longer this stretches out, and the longer it goes without Trump producing any more deals, the more desperate he gets; and he lowers his standards. 'It's kind of a giant game of chicken.' Uncategorized Sunshine Girls Crime Toronto Blue Jays Columnists

Trump threatens new tariffs on nations supporting ‘anti-American' policies of BRICS group
CNN — President Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs on any nation supporting 'anti-American' policies of the BRICS group of emerging economies, as he announced tariff letters would be sent out to scores of countries from Monday, ahead of a key deadline. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said the US would impose an additional 10% tariff on 'any country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS' with 'no exceptions,' though it was not immediately clear which policies Trump was referring to. The BRICS group, an acronym of founding members Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, has long stood as a disparate body of countries united by a shared view that global power-sharing should be redistributed to reflect current global economic realities for a 'multipolar' as opposed to a West-led world order. The group has recently expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates as members, and has ten lower-level partner countries – including Belarus, Nigeria, Thailand and Vietnam. It's not clear if Saudi Arabia has accepted an invitation to join the economic club. Brazil is currently hosting a BRICS summit, with leaders releasing a joint declaration on Sunday voicing 'serious concerns' about the 'rise of unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures' – an apparent a veiled jibe at the Trump administration's trade policy. The US administration's 90-day tariff pause is set to come to an end on Wednesday and Trump confirmed on Sunday night that letters will be sent out to dozens of countries from Monday. 'I am pleased to announce that the UNITED STATES TARIFF Letters, and/or Deals, with various Countries from around the World, will be delivered starting 12:00 P.M. (Eastern), Monday, July 7th,' he said in a separate Truth Social on Sunday night. 'If you don't move things along, then on August 1 you will boomerang back to your April 2 tariff level,' Bessent said about trading partners Sunday on CNN's 'State of the Union with Dana Bash.' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously said that tariffs could return to April levels, if countries failed to strike a deal with the US. Trump has suggested the letters would include duty rates at the current 10% baseline, or as extensive as 70%. Bessent said Sunday the United States would not impose 70% tariff rates on major trading partners. 'We're gonna be sending letters out on Monday having to do with the trade deals. Could be 12, maybe 15 … and we've made deals, also,' Trump told CNN's Betsy Klein when asked about tariff rates late Sunday afternoon at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey. Following Bessent's comments, Trump added that letters will continue to go out on Tuesday and Wednesday. 'We'll have most countries done by July 9 — either a letter or a deal,' he said earlier on Sunday. 'The president is right in the midst of discussing all sorts of deals with all sorts of countries,' Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told reporters Sunday alongside Trump. He also confirmed that tariff rates would go into effect on August 1. Bessent on Sunday declined to confirm to CNN which countries were close to a deal. He said that about 100 letters will be sent to small countries 'where we don't have very much trade,' many of which are 'already at the baseline 10%.' Trump on Friday touted letters as the 'better' option for countries that fail to negotiate deals before the July 9 deadline. On April 9, Trump announced a complete three-month pause on all the 'reciprocal' tariffs after insisting historically high tariffs were here to stay. Later that month, he told Time magazine that he had already struck 200 trade deals but declined to say with whom. So far, Trump has only announced deals with three countries: the United Kingdom, which maintained a 10% tariff rate; China, which temporarily paused sky-high duties on most goods from 145% to 30%; and a minimum 20% tariff on goods from Vietnam. In response to the three deals being described as 'frameworks,' Bessent said the upcoming letters 'will set their tariff rates. So we will have 100 done in the next few days.' 'Many of these countries never even contacted us,' he said, adding that 'We have the leverage in this situation,' as the country facing a trading deficit. Bessent pushed back against August 1 as a new deadline. He also described the administration's plan as applying 'maximum pressure.' 'It's not a new deadline. We are saying, 'This is when it's happening. If you want to speed things up, have at it. If you want to back to the old rate, that's your choice,'' Bessent said about America's trading partners, and used the European Union as an example of countries coming to the table after Trump threatened 50% tariffs on EU imports. BRICS Trump's threat of new tariffs on any nation supporting the 'anti-American policies' of BRICS countries on Sunday injects fresh instability and uncertainty into the president's global tariff campaign, as the July 9 deadline for 'reciprocal' tariff negotiations approaches. Some BRICS countries have been negotiating directly with the Trump administration, in particular India. It's unclear if Trump's new threat would impact those talks. Trump earlier this year threatened to place a '100% tariff' on 'seemingly hostile' member countries if they supported a shared currency. The idea of a BRICS currency was floated by Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2023, but has not been a focus of the body, which rather seeks to bolster trade and financing in their local currencies. On Sunday, the group of BRICS leaders backed ongoing discussions of a cross-border payments initiative between member countries. BRICS countries also condemned the military strikes on member state Iran and expressed 'serious concern' over 'deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure' and 'peaceful' nuclear facilities, without naming Israel, which carried out days of strikes against Iran last month, or the US, which bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities as part of the same onslaught. When asked about Trump's latest comments at a regular media briefing Monday, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry called BRICS an 'important platform for cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries,' which 'avoids bloc confrontation or targeting any specific country.' 'We consistently oppose tariff wars and trade wars, as well as using tariffs as a tool for coercion and pressure. Arbitrarily increasing tariffs does not serve the interests of any party,' spokesperson Mao Ning said, in response to a question about how China would react if additional tariffs were imposed on it over BRICS. Economic risks Economists have warned that Trump's trade war, especially the wide-ranging tariffs on Chinese imports, will increase costs for consumers. Some companies, including Walmart, have said they will raise prices for customers despite pushback from Trump. 'We have seen no inflation so far,' Bessent said on 'Fox News Sunday,' calling such projections 'misinformation' and 'tariff derangement syndrome.' Bessent and other Trump officials have repeatedly argued in recent months that countries like China would bear the cost of tariffs. US wholesale inflation rose slightly in May, driven in part by costlier goods, though tariff-related effects were largely muted. The Producer Price Index, a closely watched measurement of wholesale inflation, showed that prices paid to producers rose 0.1% in May, lifting the annual rate to 2.6%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released in June. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who has blasted Bessent for undermining the economic impact of tariffs, said Sunday on ABC's 'This Week' that tariffs 'will probably collect some revenue' but would come at the expense of higher inflation and less competitiveness for American producers. Also appearing on 'This Week,' Stephen Miran, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said there was no 'lasting evidence' that tariffs imposed on China during Trump's first term hurt the economy and the administration has only 'repeated the same performance' this year. 'Tariff revenue is pouring in. There's no sign of any economically significant inflation whatsoever and job creation remains healthy,' Miran said. CNN's Kit Maher and Alicia Wallace contributed to this report.

Donald Trump Grilled About NWS Cuts After Deadly Texas Floods
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump was asked about cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) after deadly Texas floods left at least 80 people dead. Speaking to reporters, the president dismissed concerns that there needs to be extra staff at the weather service and said the floods were an unexpected "once in a 100 years" event. The NWS told Newsweek that Flash Flood Warnings were issued on the night of Thursday July 3 and in the early morning of Friday July 4 Why It Matters Flash floods in Texas' Hill Country, which began on Friday, have killed at least 80 people while other remain missing or displaced, after the Guadalupe River surged by more than 20 feet in 90 minutes. The NWS, which issues forecasts and weather warnings, has lost approximately 560 workers earlier this year amid Trump's desire to streamline government services and save money. The flooding has raised questions about these cuts and the extent to which there is disaster preparedness in Texas and other states in the U.S. President Donald Trump leans in to hear a question from the media before boarding Air Force One, at Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, N.J., Sunday, July 6, 2025, en route to Washington after a weekend... President Donald Trump leans in to hear a question from the media before boarding Air Force One, at Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, N.J., Sunday, July 6, 2025, en route to Washington after a weekend in New Jersey. More AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin What To Know A reporter in New Jersey on Sunday asked Trump: "In light of the floods, do you think the federal government needs to hire back any of the meteorologists who were fired...?" "I would think not," he said. "This was a thing that happened in seconds. Nobody expected it. Nobody saw it. Very talented people are there, they didn't see it. Its I guess they said once in a 100 years they've never seen anything like this." On Sunday, Trump approved a "Major Disaster Declaration" for Kerr County, unlocking federal assistance for rescue and recovery operations. Tom Fahy, the legislative director for the union representing NWS workers, the National Weather Service Employees Organization, told the New York Times on Saturday that the San Angelo office was missing a senior hydrologist, staff forecaster and meteorologist. The office is responsible for some areas that were hit by the flash flooding Texas Emergency Management Chief W. Nim Kidd told reporters at a Friday press conference that the NWS did not accurately predict the amount of rain Texas saw, saying "the amount of rain that fell in this specific location was never in any of the [initial forecasts on Wednesday]." However, the NWS offices in Texas did issue warnings ahead of the floods and The Associated Press, citing a meteorologist in the National Weather Service office, reported the NWS had extra staff on duty during the storm. In early June, a spokesperson for the weather service, Erica Grow Cei, told Newsweek that the agency was planning to hire additional staff members to "stabilize" the department. What People Are Saying The National Weather Service in a statement to Newsweek: "The National Weather Service is heartbroken by the tragic loss of life in Kerr County. On July 3, the NWS office in Austin/San Antonio, TX conducted forecast briefings for emergency management in the morning and issued a Flood Watch in the early afternoon. Flash Flood Warnings were issued on the night of July 3 and in the early morning of July 4, giving preliminary lead times of more than three hours before warning criteria were met." It added: "The National Weather Service remains committed to our mission to serve the American public through our forecasts and decision support services." President Donald Trump's Truth Social message on Saturday: "The Trump Administration is working with State and Local Officials on the ground in Texas in response to the tragic flooding that took place yesterday. Our Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, will be there shortly. Melania and I are praying for all of the families impacted by this horrible tragedy. Our Brave First Responders are on site doing what they do best. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!" What Happens Next Rescue operations will continue. Governor Greg Abbott said Sunday afternoon there were 41 missing people still unaccounted for because of the floods. More rain is forecast in central Texas meaning the risk of flooding remains high.

US moves B-2 bombers as Trump weighs Iran options
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here A US defense official said there has been no order given to move forward with any kind of operation against Iran using the B-2s. As of Saturday, the planes are flying over the Pacific and appear to be headed toward Guam. A B-2 Spirit Bomber is seen in Nevada on January 23. (Carlos Barria/Reuters/FILE via CNN Newsource) Two US defense officials cautioned that any movement of B-2s does not mean an operation is imminent but rather is intended to provide the president with options. Another US official said moving aircraft can be a show of force and a deterrent as Trump deliberates. B-2 bombers are the only plane capable of carrying the Massive Ordinance Penetrator, which experts have highlighted as the only type of bomb potentially capable of destroying Iran's underground Fordow nuclear facility. Each B-2 bomber is able to carry two of these "bunker buster" bombs, which weigh an impressive 30,000 pounds (13607kg) each. The movement of the B-2 bombers comes as Trump has spent much of the past week in the Situation Room, reviewing attack plans and quizzing officials about the potential consequences of each. The president indicated that his two-week timeline for a decision on US military involvement in Iran is the "maximum" amount of time – and that he could make up his mind sooner. Donald Trump speaks with reporters upon arriving at Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, New Jersey on Friday, June 20. (AP) Trump is set to hold a meeting with his national security team in the Oval Office on Saturday and Sunday evening. The White House didn't respond to a request for comment. On Friday night, eight US Air Force KC-135 Stratotankers took off from Altus, Oklahoma, according to data from FlightRadar24. Over Kansas the tankers refueled two groups of planes, identified on air traffic control audio by their callsigns MYTEE11 FLT and MYTEE21 FLT. The callsign MYTEE has previously been associated with special activity flights by B-2 bombers, and multiple flight trackers on social media said the planes being refueled were B-2 bombers out of Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Flight tracking data and air traffic control audio reviewed by CNN show the bombers refueled again off the coast of California, and over Hawaii. Satellite imagery taken on Thursday showed six KC-135 refueling planes stationed at Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean that could be used to refuel the bombers should they continue onward to Iran.

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Underwater in 15 States He Won
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Donald Trump's approval rating is underwater in 15 states he won in 2024, including all seven swing states, according to analysis by The Economist. Why It Matters Trump flew to victory in November, winning the Electoral College in 31 states, and improving his share of the vote in every state but two. But the latest polls signal potential vulnerability for the president. President Donald Trump speaks with reporters upon arriving at Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, N.J., Friday, June 20, 2025. President Donald Trump speaks with reporters upon arriving at Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, N.J., Friday, June 20, 2025. Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP What To Know In key battlegrounds such as Michigan (-11), Nevada (-12), North Carolina (-8), Wisconsin (-13), Arizona (-12), Pennsylvania (-12), and Georgia (-6), Trump's net approval rating—the percentage of voters who approve of him minus those who disapprove—is firmly negative. These battleground states were pivotal in the 2024 election but now show a troubling decline in Trump's support. Beyond the swing states, Trump is also underwater in other states he carried in 2024, including Texas (-8), Ohio (-6), and Utah (-5). Trump's net approval ratings are also slightly negative in Missouri (-2), Indiana (-3), Florida (-3), Kansas (-4), and Iowa (-4). This means that in 15 states Trump carried in 2024, his net approval rating now stands below zero. Unsurprisingly, Trump's net approval rating is deeply negative in many Democratic-leaning states, reflecting widespread disapproval among voters in these areas. For example, D.C. (-73), California (-31), New York (-24), Maryland (-36), Massachusetts (-36), and Washington (-28) show some of his lowest net approval figures. Even smaller Democratic states such as Rhode Island (-36) and Vermont (-29) exhibit strong opposition. However, Trump retains strong approval in more solidly Republican states, posting positive net ratings in Alabama (+12), Alaska (+10), Arkansas (+25), Kentucky (+9), and South Carolina (+16). Trump's highest overall approval rating is in Arkansas. The drop comes amid a broader downward trend in Trump's approval rating in recent days, fueled by backlash to his "Liberation Day" tariffs, his hardline immigration agenda—including the mistaken deportation of Maryland resident Kilmar Ábrego García to El Salvador—and a wave of ICE raids that have sparked nationwide "No Kings" protests. That includes Newsweek's tracker, which shows Trump's net approval rating at -4 points, with 47 percent approving and 51 percent disapproving. That is down from earlier this month when Trump's net approval rating sat at -2 for more than a week. Other polls have also shown Trump's approval rating trending downwards. The Economist's tracker shows Trump's net approval rating at -12, down from -7 at the start of June. And the latest YouGov/Economist poll, conducted between June 13-16 among 1,512 adults, put Trump's approval rating at 41 percent, down 2 points since last week, with 54 percent disapproving, up 2 points. The latest Morning Consult poll, conducted between June 13-15 among 2,207 registered voters, put Trump's approval rating at 46 percent, down from 47 percent last week, with 52 percent disapproving, up from 51 percent. And in the latest J.L. Partners poll, conducted on June 16-17, Trump's approval held steady at 46 percent. But disapproval was up 11 points to 51 percent since their last poll in February. Approval also held steady in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll (June 11-16) at 42 percent, but his disapproval rose by 2 points to 54 percent. A HarrisX/Harvard survey, on June 11-12, registered a more noticeable shift as approval slipped to 46 percent, down from 47 percent in May, while disapproval rose to 50 percent from 48 percent. Still, a handful of polls recorded slight gains for Trump, though largely within the margin of error. In the latest Echelon Insights poll (June 17-18) and Fox News poll (June 13-16), Trump approval rating was up 2 points, while disapproval was down by 1 point compared to last month. And in the most recent RMG Rsearch poll, conducted between June 11-19, put his approval rating up one to 53 points, while his disapproval rating remained the same at 46 points. What Happens Next Trump's approval ratings are likely to fluctuate in each state over time.
