A few hours before the night before the night of the night Trump another trade trade twist the world

The next day, another deadline and US President Donald Trump’s Bajar was another trade curveball.

The deadline for the rates was fixed on August 1. The market was watching. The country was counting. And then, before midnight, another announcement came: 40% rates on transpressed goodsNew rates for dozens of nations and another change of Trump’s trade playbook. Will start next week.

If it feels familiar, that’s it because it is.

We have seen this before. In AprilTrump surprised global markets with a 10% increase, followed by a pause and then partial replacement. The July 9 The restart was late at the last minute and pushed on August 1. The business was confused each time. The leader says Washington. Trade lawyers worked overtime. But the surprise factor remained.

This is not just to create an irregular strategy. Trump is a signature.

His leadership has a strong belief in the strength of the shows, brinkmannies and unpredictableness in the style. Announcements often come through social media. Deadline shift. The pressure is created. And when the world thinks the playbook is set, Trump throws another tick.

ISEAS – Senior visiting Fellow Stephen Olson in ISAAS, a former USSF Institute and former USAS negotiations, told CNBC this week that Trump has rewritten the rules of global trade. “

Olson further said that when the United States is moving away from the very free trade system once created and led, it is unclear whether the system can still keep it together.

“Don’t think this is the end of the story. Trump is considered as the ongoing reality show. The more ‘deals’ or the next rate is almost certain. If we do not return to the ‘law of the jungle’, we have taken a lot of work in that direction.”

This is the art of agreement, which is re -imagined for land -pollix. And the trick may look confused, but they have at least given the results in accordance with Trump’s standards.

The US-Mexo-Kanada Agreement (USMCA) Is a main example. Trump repeatedly threatened to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) without agreed with Strict conditions. After several months of stress, the agreement was signed with down-to-wire talks and even at midnight. It came with strict rules on automotive materials, workers and digital trade.

Trump announced a few days before implementing the rates of “Liberation Day” Caption-Hasted Agreement with the UKThis is called “very big and exciting day”.

Message was clear: work faster or face rates.

Trump’s late night decision

This week’s movements think that it has been cut from the same cloth. Countries like Thailand and Malaysia saw their rates adjusted at the last minute, while others like Canada were more strongly hit. Neutral Switzerland was not saved, despite any major bilateral tensions, the rate of 39% was hit hard.

The time to impose a fine of 40% on transpressed goods is remarkable, as the US and China are currently discussing trade agreements.

But the diplomacy costs. There are global markets Sausage?? CEO of the industry is now on the Auto from auto to semiconductor The uncertainty of the building In their estimates. Investors do not surprise and do not make the supply chains fast.

Here is a widespread question: If one of his most influential players changes the rules of the night, can the global economy work?

Similar to companies and countries, Trump’s decisions late at night have become their own changes. That’s not what he says. This is also when he says.

“The high rates on some countries that have not contracted with Trump are part of Trump’s scary trick. After negotiations, many of them will be reduced. Trump’s deadline is extremely elastic,” Holgar Sminding, Chief Economist in Berenberg, told CNBC on Friday.

So, we are again. Another deadline for Trump Tariff, late at night. Companies, countries and investors are yet to adjust the fish with less time and low clarity. This is not the first time and it cannot be the last.
