Donald Trump has continually insisted that deals over his tariffs are coming.
Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that the U.S. doesn’t “have to sign” any trade deals, inadvertently admitting that his administration hasn’t made any progress during the 90-day pause on his disastrous tariffs.
During a tense meeting to discuss tariffs with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the president attempted to move the goal posts on actually completing any agreements with foreign countries.
“Everyone says, ‘When, when, when, are you going to sign deals?’ We don’t have to sign deals!” Trump said.
It’s a global market, if the US goes belly up the world is going to feel it. Despite Trump putting his head in the sand, we are part of a global economy.
Yes, if the US entirely and completely ceased to function, it would have a greater economic effect than the current recession that has begun.
