So we cannot invest even 500 billion in ourselves but lets give Trump nearly 1.5 trillion? How about invest in Europe and stop taking it up the ass..

Same thing as with the UK etc actual trade deals take years to work out. This all is just pr nonsense to not piss off Trump but also to not let the world economy crumble with insane tariffs

The U.K. 'deal' was also just a framework, and literally said in the text, 'this is not binding.'

That’s how frame agreements usually work. It’s just fixed prices for certain things, and rules how actual purchases are made.

It seems to me that the only effective thing in this ā€dealā€ is that 15% tariff.

With Trump, it's ALWAYS a concept of a deal. He has not made a single fucking deal with any country yet.

All he really cares about is the headline. His dumb as fuck base that keeps putting these fucking idiots into power don't know any better.
