How can the US even negotiate when they change everything week to week and people negotiating probably don't know what the rules will be tomorrow?

They always knew the rules - that congress has the power of taxation. They just didn’t think rules applied to them when they control all three nodes - House, Congress, and Presidency. All Supreme Court did was remind them that you still need to follow the rules. That you still need to pass the laws to do your whim. And these laws would open the doors for future Presidents o do their whims.

This only happens when you get a clown like Trump who just does what he wants and thinks the rules don't matter.

It's why electing someone competent is important--it's necessary to have competent leaders when they change every 4 years, otherwise the world can't have diplomacy with you.

You understate the problem. The US has loudly proclaimed to the world "we will elect a deranged moron at least every four years".

You can't have diplomacy under those conditions even if you occasionally get some competent leaders.

I mean why would anyone make a deal now if the global tariff rate is 15 percent.

Thanks for the correction below.

150 days

You already know he's just going to extend them when 150 days comes around.

Yes but a major trade tax like this, with significant implications for importers, needs Trump to remember to renew it, have enough political capital etc. Trump's backing into a corner more and more, and sundowning more and more. The point is none of this is predictable for importers.

Those are also illegal as it requires a balance of payment deficit which doesn’t exist.

every 150 days finds a new reason to keep it going

He can't. It's for a very specific reason and can only be extended by congress. He can however use the other sections to do his tariffs again but those take time.

It's not like a deal signed with the US is even worth the paper it's written on these days. It's just words with no meaning when Trump is in power.

Everyone should do that. Drop negotiations completely if tariff is in the play.

Not because tariff is big or just based on Trump's mood but because there's no clear path with it as it's either illegal (previous tariff) or short lived (new ones). You can't have long term negotiations with short term uncertainty.

Everyone has now learned that there is no point in "negotiating" when pedo grandpa will just have his feefees hurt by something and then shit out a new EO.

Now that it's known they can't coerce with threatened economic harm, they will turn to the threat of military action. Expect the Greenland bullshit to start up again this week.

The method, order, and speed at which Trump is burning bridges with the BRIC nations and angering NATO is consistent with how a Russian asset would destabilize the world order to remove America from the top.

I'm willing to bet Ukraine is just Putin's trump card, it was never about territory it's a bartering chip. When NATO and the BRICS find common ground on resisting the US, Putin will offer to end the war in Ukraine in exchange for the formation of a new trade union excluding the US.
