That UK deal was nothing to be excited about, I think that was done just for show...nothing came out of that ...like you said exemptions on rolls royce, so basically gove the ultra wealthy and free pass in a way. I think they would be able too afford the extra 10 or 20k in tariffs as the elite and rich won't be as affected by tariffs...
Trump on Thursday hailed the fact that the US-UK trade framework calls for lowering tariffs on “super-luxury” brands including Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Jaguar. “We took it from 25 to 10 on Rolls-Royce because Rolls-Royce is not going to be built here. I wouldn’t even ask them to do that. You know, it’s a very special car and it’s a very limited number, too,” Trump said during his Oval Office announcement. According to a fact sheet shared by the White House, the Trump administration has agreed to lower tariffs on the first 100,000 UK vehicles imported into the United States each year to 10%. Additional vehicles face a 25% tariff. “It’s not…one of the monster car companies that makes millions of cars. They make a very small number of cars that are super luxury and that includes Bentley and Jaguar…some very special cars,” Trump said. “In order to help that industry and that’s really…handmade stuff and they’ve been doing it for a long time in the same location.” Other luxury British car brands that could benefit from the lowered tariffs include Land Rover and Aston Martin. That means Trump has made it cheaper to import cars that relatively few Americans buy — or, for that matter, can afford — while keeping tariffs for now on more popular and affordable brands. “Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One,” University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers posted on X, “the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martins, Range Rovers and Minis.” Wolfers noted that “no other consumer good received carveouts” from the US-UK trade framework. The UK exported only about 90,000 cars to the United States last year, according to S&P Global Mobility, making it the sixth-largest source of imported vehicles, responsible for only 1% of imported cars. But Commerce Department data showed that the value of its imported cars came to $12.3 billion, meaning the average price of a British import was more than $135,000.
There weren't many specifics as they really aren't giving hard factual data... This was nothing but a show ...he will do the same thing this weekend with China. Come Monday there will NOT be a deal with China but only lower tariffs from the original 145% and they will say hey we are getting closer...again it will be just another magic show of smoke and mirrors....thats the only negotiated deal with China for Monday. They should just announce it today since that will be the only thing they get and of course Trump will say it was great and perfect and everything is looking like a definite deal will be made in weeks as China is agreeing to everything we implemented on them. Blah blah blah....
Remember last week when they said a trade deal was Done done done....... Commerce Secretary Lutnick says one trade deal is done, but waiting on approval from unnamed country’s leaders Published Tue, Apr 29 20252:04 PM So is this more political fucking lies Here is an article from last week....they didn't name the country or the specific information on what was negotiated only that a deal was done.... So was this deal that was done LAST week the UK deal????????????????????????? This was written in an article from yesterday : The U.K. and U.S. agreed to a landmark trade deal on Thursday — yet the agreement appears to be far from free of tariffs. The deal is the first made by the United States since President Donald Trump unveiled his so-called reciprocal tariffs on countries around the world last month. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/commerce-secretary-lutnick-trade-deal-unnamed-country-approval.html
Win for USA in UK trade deal. 5 billion in EXTRA market access. 6 billion in EXTRA tariffs. Quit using smoke and mirrors in an effort to obscure the truth. The deal WAS, IS, and WILL be a WIN for Trump and the USA. Maybe not for every sector but overall a major win for our economy so quit making out like it is not a win.
You negative posters just can't stand Trump is winning and your disgust for him shows. You are losing and he is winning LOL ROFLMAO. Your entire focus is on disparaging Trump and using smoke and mirrors to hide the truth of the wins. Any reasonable person can see your agenda.
