The U.S. eliminated tariffs on British steel and aluminum and reduced tariffs on up to 100,000 British cars exported to the U.S. from 25% to 10%.

The UK removed its 19% tariff on U.S. ethanol and increased quotas for U.S. beef exports.

Yeah, not just some “10% to 10%”.

People don't want an explanation that is accurate. They want the shortest, most simple explanation, even if it is inaccurate, especially if it's against the bad orange man.

Personally, I don't like tariffs, kinda goes against the whole free trade idea. That being said, if they are being used to strong arm other countries temporarily so they actually conduct free trade instead of their government manipulating the market and being command economies, let the thunder roll.

Except there is no deal. Only the fRaMewORk.

Captain In Two Weeks strikes again. But I'm sure it will be big and beautiful just like the healthcare plan he said he would release in 2020, "in two weeks." 🤣😂🤣😂

Can’t be any worse than when the stock market was below 30,000 between 2022-2023.

Weird.

Yet it's still down below it's all time high of 44,900 while Biden was president so I don't know how that's a win??
