    Those other countries do not have signed deals and are not bound to whatever random thing Trump says at press conferences.

    Trump is still too afraid to mention that China, in continuing to be the largest buyer of Russian oil,
    has been in violation of the US sanction on Russia

    The US Chamber of Commerce estimated this month that the country has about 236,000 small-business importers—those
    with fewer than 500 employees. In 2023, the goods they bought from abroad were worth more than $868 billion.

    They now face a combined annual tariff hit of $202 billion and are finding it difficult to navigate all the red tape required to comply
    with the president’s levies (the legality of which is yet another variable, given ongoing litigation).

    For example, the latest tariff numbers from the White House, ranging from 10% to 50%, brought with them a need
    for business owners to increase customs bonds—guarantees they must buy from surety providers to ensure
    the government receives its tariff revenue, other taxes and any potential penalties.

    Just like he has been too afraid of slapping bigger sanctions on Russia. He wants so bad to be admired and respected by Putin, and Putin has always used that to his advantage.

    Still low inflation -- great CPI numbers this morning! Economists proven wrong again by Trump. A true leader. Tariffs are bringing in huge revenue to the country, resetting the global terms of trade in favor of the USA, and not adding to inflation. Amazingly successful.

    GOOD DAY


    Consumer prices rise 2.7% annually in July, less than expected amid tariff worries

    The consumer price index was projected to increase 0.2% in July and 2.8% for a year ago on headline, and 0.3% and 3% on core, according to the Dow Jones consensus estimate.

    Failed US businesses will follow in the wake of Trump's Tariffs. This will be one of many Trump Legacies.

    Inflation was 2.7% including food and energy -- lower than expected. Food and energy inflation were less than 3.0% (low). Remember Biden gave us 9.0% inflation.

    Investors are loving it as the stock market reached more all time highs today.


    GOOD DAY
