President Trump 🇺🇸 continues to break and remodel trade relationships 🤝 to get deals that he views is more advantageous (or far less egregious) to American business interests 💼. This will help grow the American economy faster than the 2.3% forecasted rate 📈 made in 2023 for fiscal year 2025.
However, that is still less than the forecasted growth rate of the Chinese economy 🇨🇳 of 2.8% for the same fiscal time period.
Rather than try to play catch-up to a more nimble competitor 🏃♂️, one can choose to change the course direction and alliances 🔁. That is what is going on with the trade deals. It is basically acknowledging that some of our “allies” have been playing both sides against the middle 🎭 and are being forced to reset the terms of engagement or else America will take its marbles and play somewhere else 🎯. The economic pain of losing American business will cause major political changes in lots of other countries 🌍. Weakened economies usually lead to a change in the leadership of a country (by vote or by force) 🗳️⚔️. Therefore, either play ball with the US on much better terms, or prepare for national political unrest 🔥. That is the deal. Most countries are going to take the deal! China has its own deals to try to counter the US now being “Woke.” 🌐
There is a reason why companies and countries have been giving so many concessions and economic pledges to the Trump administration that they did not do with previous administrations: No one wants the gravy train 🚂 to stop, even if they have to give up some of the gravy 🥣. No matter what the actual amount of the trade deals turns out to be, whether it is $5 billion or $10 billion 💵, it represents a major shift in rethinking on how to do the deal with America 🇺🇸.
Forget love… deal-making is in the air 💼💥 – and on the table! 📝
Now…What is your deal?
