In the early Wednesday morning, the new American rates came into force against half the world. US President Donald Trump is more than convinced of them. In the meantime, dozens of countries would like to negotiate with the United States. “(…) You kiss my ass. They burn when closing a deal,” said Trump.
“We are waiting for the call. It will happen,” De Republican also wrote about China on his social social platform. The Chinese government definitely wants to conclude an agreement, but does not know how this can be initiated. The Asian country is particularly difficult with 104 percent special rates and has already responded with against -tariffs of 34 percent.
The trade relationship with the EU is also a thorn in the side. He excluded an offer from Brussels, saturated rates for industrial goods on both sides. Instead, he demanded that the EU would import more American energy as compensation. Before Wednesday afternoon, the European Union is expected to agree on the first countermeasures for the American steel and aluminum rates. More than 25 percent must be coordinated on soybeans, clothing, iron, steel and aluminum goods. Ten percent must be due to other products.
“Golden Age begins”
Trump wants to strengthen domestic production with its customs policy and at the same time bring foreign trading partners to concessions. The extra income must help to at least partially deliver tax cuts in the election campaign.
Now the “Golden Age” of the United States will start, the American president was convinced. Trump’s spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that nearly 70 countries had turned to the White House, the phone “continuously”. Some heads of state would like to “get on the plane” to negotiate.
