JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump to make trade announcements for at least 7 countries tomorrow morning.
- The post signals President Trump's upcoming trade announcements for seven countries, aligning with his recent tariff strategy, including a surprising 50% tariff on copper imports announced yesterday, which spiked U.S. copper futures by 12% per Reuters, reflecting a bold shift to boost domestic production amid global trade tensions. - This follows a radical approach where Trump sent identical tariff letters to leaders like Japan and South Korea since Monday, as reported by NPR, overriding existing free-trade agreements and setting an August 1, 2025, deadline, a move economists warn could disrupt markets despite claims from @MariaBartiromo that it’s not fueling inflation. - The timing, just hours before the original July 9 tariff hike from April’s "Liberation Day" order, suggests a calculated delay to finalize deals, with only two agreements (UK, Vietnam) secured so far, challenging the administration’s earlier promise of 90 deals in 90 days, per Reuters.
