More conversation, uncertainty and deadlines

More than a month after President Donald Trump has won almost all of America, more deadlines and assurances for ongoing discussions are more than a month.

With China, the United States has not secured any major changes than compensating for the stripes of the youngest import duties and import restrictions.

And an agreement in Great Britain, which was announced last Wednesday, offered little about improved access for US meat and ethanol.

The White House stated that both agreements are starting points. Although it was sufficient to alleviate international markets and restore the US shares, the Trump government has little to show how concessions have gained themselves from the agreements.

In the British agreement, British companies won clear concessions of the Trump administration, including lower US trade barriers for vehicles, steel and aluminum products.

The immediate profits for America were less clear.

Although the pact observed improved access to British markets for American meat producers, the methods of preparing meat are prohibited in Great Britain in Great Britain – an attitude that does not change.

In the meantime, representatives of the American car companies who already had difficulty having to control Trump's tariffs had a rare explanation that blew up the deal.

“We are disappointed that the Great Britain administration has prioritized to our North American partners,” said Matt Blunt, President of the American Automotive Policy Council.

But the announcements of the deal came again and again. Days later, representatives from the USA and China stated that they temporarily lower mutual tariffs that had reached more than 120%.

Again, the announcement was on questions about your success. Capital Economics, advice from Wall Street, called it “another significant withdrawal from the aggressive attitude of the Trump government”.

In a reference to the customers, the company said that the business does not contain any “China obligations to exchange exchange policy or the bilateral retail weight”.

“You have asserted yourself,” said Marcus Noland, economist and senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, about China. “They looked back on the tyrant and the United States without a great concession.”

China celebrated the result of his negotiations and said that his resistance to Trump's tariffs was “very effective”.

“Indeed, the retaliation measures had a significant impact on the US side, which is why the US government reduced the tariffs to the basic line level after the talks,” says a social media account that was associated with the Chinese national broadcaster CCTV.

In a statement, a representative of the White House continued to welcomed the agreements and indicated that there were more progress. Officials of the White House have also found that recent economic data such as jobs and inflation are still solid.

“Thanks to President Trump's tariffs and the deal of preparation by President Trump, Great Britain has opened exporting opportunities for American ranchers and farmers, while China has agreed to expand the market access for American companies,” said Kush Desai, spokesman for the White House. “And this is only the beginning, with many more offers and opportunities for American workers and farmers.”

Trump has also advertised the ability of tariffs to achieve income. In April, the first full month in which most of Trump's tariffs had come into force, the tariffs of $ 16 billion started, CNBC reported.

This is a record, but hardly the federal deficit that was 1.05 trillion US dollars, 13% higher than a year ago. Netto interest rates alone cost 38 billion US dollars a month and are now 579 billion US dollars for the current financial year.

At the same time, the tariffs from which Trump argued would achieve significant income and to encourage US companies to bring production back to the United States that are now being returned.

Analysts warn that the markets, even if they have responded positively to the overall developments, there is a risk that they will get complacition in view of the continuing tensions and stumbling blocks. As part of the United Kingdom, the United States insisted that it reduced its dependence on Chinese supply chains – something that China had used in a report on Financial Times on Tuesday.

“I think we have a lot more turbulence and much more back and forth than the markets seem to understand,” said Noland.
