The president announced goods from every nation we trade with will be subject to import taxes. A 34% tax on imports from China. That's on top of the 20% tariff already imposed. 24% on Japan and 20% on the European Union.

Not at all. It's been a quiet start to the year for me, quiet start to the Trump administration.

Well, the administration has said it doesn't impact them at all, right? That the trading partners are calling up and still eager to do deals. We've heard Jameson Greer, the trade representative, say that.

That contrasts a little bit with their position in court, their actual court filings. In their petition for the stay, the administration was very clear that they thought that putting these tariffs on hold would undermine their leverage in all of these trade talks. They said really jeopardize everything that they were trying to do. So they're kind of talking out of both sides of their mouth here.

I do think a number of countries will still be eager to do a deal with the US because maybe they will feel that they have a little more leverage in these negotiations now. And I think that they see that they may have a little bit more time as well. All of these court proceedings kind of throw into question the deadline that Trump had set to complete all of these trade negotiations.

That was actually on July 9th. So if you're going to do a deal with the US, you just got a little bit more breathing room and you got a little bit of leverage in these negotiations. Maybe Trump can't drive as hard of a bargain as he would have otherwise.
