I will just wait to see if a trade deal gets done soon with Brazil.
Just like it has been most of the time he has taken off the tariffs.... a trade deal is in the works.
After the GOP got clobbers in the last election over the talk of "affordably" and his poll numbers taking a dive on the economy, the arsonist in the WH walks back his tariff on Brazil, a complete walk back. Now he'll claim some kinda victory on this..watch.
I hope Bolsonaro wasn't planing an early exit from his 27 year prison term, trump just told him, "don't drop the bar of soap in the shower".

Because there won't be any deals of significance. See Japan and South Korea.
No one knows the "details" of his deals because its all smoke and mirrors. Or as we like to say in my hood..."Its bullshit"
I like how you say, "a trade deal is in the works"....lol
I didn't say "a trade deal is in the works".... the article you posted did. Or didn't you read it.
You like to say we won't know the deals or they are not significant.... really? Mineral rights, investments, more purchasing agreements, that country buying less from others (China), policing of drug trade/crime, etc. Yeah.... not significant at all. GTFO.
You just can't let yourself admit that Trump is doing some good things. He is using tariffs as a TOOL to get trade deals done. Yeah it is hurting in the short term but with hopefully long-term benefits. Hell with the deals with Japan and SK they were piggy backing some of Biden's stuff with semi conductors and CHIPS ACT.
OH Agreed....... but you can say this with ANY of our leaders. Need to give it time. Things don't happen with a snap of a finger. Even though Trump says it does. Even though our society thinks it does.
Al Overview says: "A planned $20 billion bailout from U.S. commercial banks to Argentina has been shelved. The private lenders, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citigroup, have pivoted to a much smaller, short-term loan package instead, reportedly for around $5 billion."
SO.... not giving the $20B and we still got trade deals... that is what is sounds like is happening. It all depends now if those trade deals fall apart or not.
But the $5B will be "loaned" out with $4B paid back in Jan with more investment in bond markets instead of currency swaps.
So how is this "bad". The only way would be if trade deals don't work out. We (TRUMP) got the guy he wanted as president of Argentina. That guy promised trade deals. USA didn't have to give $20B and looks like only $5B now.....which $4B will be paid back ASAP. Again... what looks bad? Is it now Dem's can't bitch about $20B or that now they will bitch because TRUMP PROMISED $20B? Which is it?
I didn't say it was good or bad, so don't pretend to quote me. I simply reported it had happened. Please calm down.
I was asking you..... HOW IS IT BAD?
I gave an example of how Trump would never make some happy. They were bitching about giving them money..... now they might be bitching about "he backed out" giving them money.
Plus the fact about how people were bitching about his "deal with Argentina" was always bullshit. When now it seems even better than before. We so far got what we wanted for even less. Also how everyone on this board seemed to be bitching about other trade deals and Trump sucks at it.... well.... doesn't seem so with this one does it.
As usual, CRSM 27 IQ has no clue what the fuck he's talking about. He wrote: "We so far got what we wanted for even less." NO, you fucking moron!! There were supposed to be TWO $20 Billion tranches for Argentina. Trump already gave away $20 BILLION of taxpayer money to Argentina. He then tried to strong-arm banks into lending Argentina an ADDITIONAL tranche of $20 billion. The banks didn't "back out;" they never committed to the loan because it could not be collateralized.
NO you IDIOT..... everyone was bitching about $40B with $20B being private firms that were TRUMPS BUDDIES making the money..... the $20B was with funds that already existed. We did the currency swap. Which when the peso is better than when the "swap" happened we can cash in smaller amounts to profit... but not all of it to destabilize the bank. But we can get back our money.
SO.... the private sector didn't have to inject money so TRUMPS BUDDIES could make money or the other fear was "bailed out" by Trump and US tax payer money. It was the existing funds of $20B and now only $5B..... the peso was stronger and stable but did drop some.
You might want to stop trying to insult me and actually check your own IQ..... but keep the stereotype alive and well on this board.
He doesn't know if it's good or bad until he goes to AI to get his opinion.
Answer: his own ignorance and stupidity. He has no actual sources.
Correct. But love how BigP has to try and insult my IQ and keep the stereotype alive about liberals thinking they are so "smart". Then get proven wrong.
Remember the initial bitch was "Trumps" buddies were going to get RICH off of it. IT was an insider deal because of the banking institutions getting the other $20B of the currency exchange while the US is kicking in the other half to boost the peso. Which will inflate the other $20B so Trumps buddies will catch the windfall. NOW that isn't happening.
They had the bitch of WHY GIVE THEM THE $20B when we need it here.....but then the whole that fund was already approved blew up in their face and the money that was showed flew out the door from USAID and what not.
So like I mentioned.... why the bitch now or how is this actually a bad thing? It is less US money invested. Which would actually help stabilize the world market if the peso dropped ($15B less in the peso). For the US Government the only way is "IF" the peso collapses. Which it could..... but if we get the trade deals that will "even it out" and be a net "0".... or if they back out on the trade deals and peso collapses.... we are fucked. Then it was stupid. Time will tell. But so far...... they stopped selling cheap soy beans which helped with trade, we got the guy we wanted elected, peso did go up (but now down a little), and still negotiation more trade. So far it seems good. But still too early.
....and there's never a "no news" day with Trump. If that day ever comes, ickydik, bigpoopy and a few others will scream in here in their clown car and start bitching about that too.
What a moronic thing to post. No, we won't. Unfortunately with trump it's all chaos, confusion, drama, stupidity, corruption, and incompetence. Trump will never change and neither will you.
At least you admit too it, most would be embarrassed to be seen with them and for good reason.
TDS is, actually trump denialism syndrome and you are patient zero.
"Most of the coffee consumed in the United States is imported, with the largest sources being Brazil and Colombia, which together supply a significant majority of the market."

"Brazil: The top supplier of coffee to the US, particularly since 2024, with imports valued at over $1.9 billion in 2024."

"The vast majority of US coffee is imported because mainland US climates are not suitable for commercial coffee cultivation."

"Mainland US climates are generally too cold for coffee plants, which are sensitive to frost. The only significant domestic production comes from Hawaii, though it makes up a very small fraction of total US consumption."

We pull a lot out of Mexico as well.
Maybe because trump is finally realizes that his tariffs are AFFECTING affordability, and increasing inflation. Based on the most current election...tariffs/affordability done in the republicans
And has anyone noticed that trump is quietly rolling back tariffs..
And what happened to those tariffs trump was going to dump on Canada after that ad during the World Series...well nothing.
TACO!!
From the link you posted....
“(The order) follows the significant progress the president has made in securing more reciprocal terms for our bilateral trade relationships,” a fact sheet stated.
Yes he is rolling them back on all places but did get deals done with MANY countries. It wasn't an ALL or NOTHING deal.
Might be a threat was all that was needed with the for that World Series Ad? Don't know.... but you forgot to include that then Canada PM APOLOGIZED for running that AD.... Mr. Ford didn't.
....waiting for the clown car to roll in and the 3 knuckleheads to get out and apologize or even acknowledge this. You can't hit them with facts without typos....it gives them nothing to retort with and they run away to go jerk off in their basements.
See, what you guys didn’t get is that all Trump has to do is just say it, that deals are in the works .. and then you guys drool all over it and buy the bullshit.
He can lead you guy over a cliff without a parachute and you guys will GLADLY follow. I’m beginning to think that you guys in incapable of making a sound decision on anything.
So, gotta ask.., has trump imposed any new tariffs lately? Has he even threatened one ? No, and that’s because it’s a bad massage now.
Here’s the deal.,, we’re losing this war
Deals...
Australia, Some with Canada, Singapore, China, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, E.U., UK, etc.
Many are not even reported on because of media bullshit or they are small deals.
