"EU India Trade Deal: In a major development in global trade talks, the European Union is pressing India to eliminate its 100% import duty on cars under a long-pending free trade agreement. Sources tell Reuters that Prime Minister Modi’s government is open to reducing this tariff in phases—possibly down to 10%. But this could have major implications for Indian automakers like Tata and Mahindra. The pressure comes just weeks after similar demands from the U.S., including on electric vehicles, raising stakes for India’s protected auto industry. "

I mean, it’s still early, negotiations haven’t even started yet

Yeah, its early, negotiation hasnt started yet and US already folded because "people were queasy looking at bonds"

So whats the negotiatng position? Give us what we want or I'll do the thing I can't handle?

10% tariffs are still in place & most of them agreed to no retaliation.

Taxing its own citizens is the Hegemon’s prerogative. Since the tax is across the board, why should other countries care?

Then he shouldn’t call it a win then.

Turns out the bond yield spikes were from Japan selling US Treasuries. Not China.

Of course to Americans and their vassals, this is unthinkable so it never crossed their minds. And you wonder why they find it so hard to get wins off China.

Tora! Tora! TORA!

Turns out Japan still has a way with surprise attacks.

Turns out that sometimes the fascists make a right move by accident.

The tariffs clearly have brought them to the table, which was the intention. Trump’s whole thing is getting other leaders into bilateral negotiations on trade with the threat of tariffs. If the tariffs are truly toothless because it’s just a tax on US consumers, why didn’t other countries just ignore them?

IMO we are leaning too much in the direction of tariffs just being self-sabotage. Yes, they hurt both sides, but many of the exporting nations that rely on US consumers can’t just pass tariffs onto US consumers without losing volume, as US consumers have finite budget & will just stop buying. So they’ll end up having to accept lower margins to keep business flowing, even if the US doesn’t have a replacement.

The US’s “partners” are incentivized to keep the US consuming because their whole business model is built around it and they have no alternative markets by which to extract profits.

I mean there was that news about China, Korea and Japan coordinating response to trade war.... but I'm sure it's nothing.
