New Trump tariffs (again) here (again)

First time US President Donald Trump submitted its “mutual” tariffs In the rest of the world, the event on April 2 had cinematic, even grand, quality. It was held in the pink garden of the White House. According to the live band played The Wall Street Journal. Trump has raised huge physical graphics of his tariff tariffs that were useful for visual clarity.

This time, the updated “mutual” tariffs of Trump, released on the night before they came into force on August 1, seemed compared to pompousness and glamor. White House Executive order He jumped around 7pm, just as people in the US went out of work. There was no live event, no big graphics and, of course, no fun-strict website from a black and white table.

This rigor – and, you can even say, stealth – around a recent message suggests two things.

In the first place, the White House can know that the dramatic shock of the tariffs has less power in order to stop trade deals when the second time comes. “90 transactions for 90 days”, which had a trade advisor Peter Navaro promise After all, in April it is nowhere to be seen.

Secondly, the United States can actually be fine without making trading deals with some countries, leaving them with fares from higher than in tariffs. In June, the US Treasury reported Unexpected excess thanks to tariff income, which were more than four times higher than a year ago. And economists are not so Alarmed by tariff inflation As they used to be.

Of course, this is all the assumption. The most recent tariffs are little known, except for the numbers – almost two hours have been as they were, and there was still no other official communication. The order could be released in this restrained way simply because the pink garden is now more like Concrete trail. Or maybe Trump does not want penguins in the islands and McDonald this time heard about his penalties.

In an interview with CNBC this season, executives across the fields sent a clear message: tariffs are no longer just political tactics.

As The rules of trade Grow more uncertain, and tariffs arise in political discussions, business leaders say they rethink everything from where the factories are located before the products are estimated. The old model “just in time” gives way to something more careful: bring the goods closer to the buyer, ask for release where it is possible, and be united to change consumer habits.
