A fair trade deal with China? Opening or bluff?
In the midst of global economic tensions, Donald Trump has declared that the US will pursue a “fair trade deal” with China, hinting at a possible thaw after months of a heated trade war. The President emphasized his willingness to reach a mutually beneficial agreement—but only on terms favorable to the United States.
Auto tariffs relaxed, but a brutal warning follows
Trump has softened tariffs on automobiles, giving car manufacturers more time to adapt to the new landscape. But the gesture was quickly followed by a harsh ultimatum: “Build in the USA or be crushed.” The message to international carmakers is clear—protectionism is still the administration’s top priority, and offshoring will no longer be tolerated without consequences.
Another shot at the Fed and a celebration of himself
As expected, Trump didn’t miss the opportunity to take aim at the Federal Reserve, once again criticizing Chairman Jerome Powell for “not doing a good job.” This criticism adds to a long string of public attacks on the institution, reflecting the President’s deep dissatisfaction with monetary policy decisions.
Celebrating his first 100 days in the White House, Trump claimed they were the best of any US administration—a bold statement that underscores his self-confidence. And he didn’t stop there: “The golden age has just begun,” he declared, setting the tone for what could be a very intense presidency.
