Trump’s difficult tariff tactic is to achieve results

Japan is a big deal for President Donald Trump’s crash on the world’s commercial system.

According to its conditions, it can now be said that his aggressive approach produces tangible results.

Ever since the exceptions, the US country has been saying the chances of a deal with Japan, but despite several delegations, the deal has been strangely elusive – so far.

In a narrow sense, this is a profit for Trump’s approach, especially if Japan becomes a domino, which causes the rest of the world to come in line.

Japan now has the best deal, or more recently, the bigger deal of all nations with major trade surpluses with the United States.

The total tariff of 15%, which must be charged for the import of Japanese goods to the United States, is higher than 10% in the United Kingdom, but the United Kingdom has no surplus.

As I have already reported, the rage of Japanese negotiators during negotiations was marked among Washington DC diplomats accustomed to the ultimate courtesy of the nation.

Tokyo played hardball. The Japanese Minister of Finance has described the $ 1.1 trillion nation -states for bonds of the US Department of Finance, the largest in the world, as a “map” that can be placed on the table.

Rumors about Hedge Funds in Japan, which sell US bonds following a message at the April Liberation Tariffs, which raised a wider sale and greater questions about the largest economy in the world and the status of safe asylum of the US dollar.

So achieving a transaction is extremely important, in itself and as an example of other major economic blocks, including the European Union (EU).

The deal comes on the day that Japanese leaders of the EU in Tokyo. There was some talkative for Japan, the EU and Canada coordinating their revenge. This stops every such initiative.

Some EU members will wonder why such a deal cannot be achieved as soon as Germany and France increase Anteto in revenge, perhaps against US technology giants.

The world is expecting the details here, but it is clear that Japan has defended its agricultural imports, although it will import more rice to the United States.

It is unclear what can change the lack of popularity of large US cars in the country, although Japanese private companies will be supported to invest half a trillion in the United States, in some form.

Japan made this deal when he could wait to see how things are developing and international markets react when Trump’s tougher tariffs for many countries come into force on August 1.

The internal political weakness of its Prime Minister may be a factor, although other countries, including Indonesia and the Philippines, have also concluded transactions.

However, the big picture is a tired acceptance of the American who collects what would be a year ago, unthinkable tariffs for his main allies, for fear of something more bad.

In the case of Japan, it was a 25% tariff threatened by Trump.

Tariffs now raise significant sums for the US Department of Finance without revenge against US exporters. So far, over $ 100 billion this year, about 5% of the US federal revenue has come from tariffs, against 2% more ordinary.

US Department of Finance Secretary Scott Bestent believes the annual tariff will be $ 300 billion.

This is far from the amount collected from the income taxes, but a noticeable amount. It is accepted without direct revenge and without now the market turmoil, which is seen earlier.

However, the story does not end here. Who actually pays these tariffs? In the end, US consumers will pay a lot of prices they pay for imported goods.

In the past, Essent and others suggest that the increasing value of the US dollar will help to mitigate consumers’ import costs. The opposite happened.

The dollar dropped in the first half of this year, losing 10% of its value to a basket of world currencies. This will contribute to the price of imports, in addition to the tariffs.

There is also a wider canvas here. The governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey said this week that “the most prenatal trade on the market is currently a” short dollar “.

He added that the established models of safe shelter in the markets, especially in the US dollar, “essentially destroyed”.

There is a “reduction in the exposure” of the dollar as companies and traders are now downloading deals or “hedges” designed to ensure that they are protected against its decline, “the governor said.

As I have already discussed, the markets are suspected in the markets that this weaker dollar may have actually been part of the site of these interventions designed to help increase, such as US rust manufacturers, regain their competitiveness.

On top of that, the United States also helped its great rival China at least make a work for the rest of the world that it could be a stable trading partner.

For this first stage of the Great World Trade War, Japan is an important victory for the White House, which will return against the assumption that Trump always chickens or taco.

Although it can also become more clear victories before the deadlines for next week, moving the more market euphoria, the wider economic picture remains far more gloom.
