On Sunday aboard Air Force One, Trump said there “could very well be” trade deals announced this week. He also said that last week. And the week before.


“We’re negotiating with many countries but at the end of this I’ll set my own deals because I set the deal, they don’t set the deal, I set the deal,” he told reporters Sunday. “This is not like a big deal that’s gonna be signed — in some cases we’ll sign them, but we don’t have to sign them. I’ll be setting the deal, I’ll be setting the tariff.”

As the weeks roll on with no deal in sight, the Trump administration risks inflicting serious economic damage that could quickly turn into a US and global recession. America’s aggressive trade war has already sent the US economy into reverse. Last week’s quarterly report on gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the US economy, showed America’s first contraction since early 2022, as an otherwise-healthy economy was dragged down by companies stockpiling goods to get ahead of tariffs.

America is just days away from pandemic-like supply chain disruptions that could lead to higher prices and empty store shelves.

Trump said in a Time interview last month he had made 200 trade deals already, later clarifying that they’ll be done soon. Administration officials have said they’re in advanced trade negotiations with more than a dozen countries.

He would not extend the tariffs a second time — and, in fact, may act sooner to reinstate some tariffs on countries with whom his administration cannot reach an agreement, perhaps in a matter of a couple weeks.

And even if deals are ultimately completed with all countries, there’s no guarantee Trump would keep them.

The one that really matters is China. And that appears to be going nowhere fast. The two countries seem not to be remotely close to a deal. China has repeatedly denied Trump’s statements that they’re in talks, and both sides have dug in. Bessent said it could take two to three years for trade to normalize with China.

See if a higher low is made now or prepare for a next drop.
DS2 levels need to hold now.

Markets could pull back/drop again to make that higher low (as posted before)

Investors are now keeping a close eye on the Fed’s two-day policy meeting set to kick off on Tuesday, followed by an announcement on rates Wednesday afternoon. Although fed funds futures trading suggests just a 2.7% chance of the central bank cutting rates, traders will be listening for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s comments on his economic outlook.

What else can Powel say other then being worried about his boss idiotic policies/decisions, which could damage the complete world economy..

Bad start of the week.

Money corrupts weather you are a Democrat or a Republican.

$511 Million is anyway more then DOGE scratched together so far.

Trump trade tariffs slump widens to ‘nearly all U.S. exports,’ supply chain data shows

 

1. An exports slide that began in early 2025 has reached most ports across the U.S. and nearly all export market products as the trade impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs worsens, with agriculture the hardest hit.
2. As businesses cancel orders from China, U.S. imports continue to plummet, with a 43% week-over-week drop in containers through April 28.
3. “We haven’t seen anything like this since the disruptions of summer 2020,” said Kyle Henderson, CEO of trade tracker Vizion.

I nice militairy parade at June 14th (like a Russian parade)

"We have the greatest missiles in the world"

"We have the greatest submarines in the world"

"We have the greatest army tanks in the world"

"We have the greatest weapons in the world"

Country in a kind of chaos.

Cost only a $100 Million. "Peanuts" acc. to Trump.

Sorry about your X-Mass shopping. It is what it is.

EU planning additional tariffs on US imports if trade talks with the US fail.

Politics
UK and India strike a trade deal amid U.S.-led tariff tensions.

1. The deal will see India gradually lower import taxes, with the vast majority of goods traded becoming “fully tariff-free within a decade.”
2. The U.K. government said the agreement is expected to increase bilateral trade by £25.5 billion ($34 billion)
3. Trade between the two nations stood at £42.6 billion in 2024, up 8.3% from the previous year.

Trump will be jealous. Likely changing from orange to red.
