Trump reaffirms that 1 August trade deadline will not be extended | investingLive

“THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE — IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED. A BIG DAY FOR AMERICA!!!”

Well, they managed to strike agreements with the bigger names and that’s bringing some relief at least. However, whether or not the likes of the EU and Japan can be truly happy with what they got is another matter. The question now is if these are considered makeshift/framework deals, is there a potential for them to break down? Even the trade truce with China is more of kicking the can down the road rather than getting to any major agreement. So, don’t expect this to be the end of all the trade drama.
