President Donald Trump’s tariffs can continue for now, after an appeals court granted the administration’ request to temporarily stay a lower court’s order.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said Thursday afternoon that it would temporarily pause the effects of a decision from the Court of International Trade, which ruled Wednesday that most of Trump’s tariffs were illegal and must be halted.

Your trade adviser, Peter Navarro, says 90 deals in 90 days is possible. We're now 13 days into the point from when you lifted the reciprocal, the discounted reciprocal tariffs. There's zero deals so far. Why is that?

No, there’s many deals.

When are they going to be announced?

You have to understand, I'm dealing with all the companies, very friendly countries. We're meeting with China. We're doing fine with everybody. But ultimately, I've made all the deals.

Not one has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them?

I’ve made 200 deals.

You’ve made 200 deals?

100%.

Quote:

I’m just curious, why don’t you announce these deals that you’ve solidified?

I would say, over the next three to four weeks, and we're finished, by the way.

You’re finished?

We’ll be finished.

Oh, you will be finished in three to four weeks.

I’ll be finished.

I’ve been on some quite strong pain-killers for the last three weeks, following my knee replacement operation - did I miss the 200 trade deals being announced?

Re: President Trump 2.0

Nope, you didnt, they were never announced, and most likely never existed.

Re: President Trump 2.0

But he did shart some more steel tariffs last week, so whatever trade deals were on the table (like the UK one for example) are entirely questionable.

Is that not called negotiation?

Re: President Trump 2.0

Trump dos not appear to negotiate anything.
He thinks of a number, doubles it, and says that will be his random tariff.
Later he changes his mind, and "delays" it, making up an excuse for do so.

Well I dont think thats a bad thing, we should be prepared to defend ourselves.
I dont think it has much to do with tariffs or negotiations though.

It's called many things but negotiation isn't one of them.
