Trump deals poised to fall short of sweeping trade reforms
While US President Donald Trump's approach may win concessions from trading partners, the erratic effort has injected uncertainty into the financial markets. (AP pic) WASHINGTON : With just 10 days to go until President Donald Trump's country-specific tariffs are set to resume, the White House appears poised to fall short of the sweeping global trade reforms it promised to achieve during the three months they were on hold. Agreements with as many as a dozen of the US's largest trading partners are expected to be completed by the July 9 deadline, top Trump advisers have said over the past week. However, if Trump's only two other accords, with China and the UK, offer any indication, the pacts likely won't be fulsome deals that resolve core issues, but instead will address a limited set of topics and leave many specifics to be negotiated later. 'I would expect the White House will announce some number of frameworks that it's going to call trade deals, but do not meet anyone's ordinary understanding of that term,' said Tim Meyer, a professor at Duke University law school who specialises in international trade. For dozens of other countries that don't reach deals, but were hit by Trump's higher tariff on April 2, the president has threatened to impose new duties above the 10% baseline that has been in place during the negotiating period. Those would mostly be 'smaller trading partners,' treasury secretary Scott Bessent said Friday on CNBC. Trump and his advisers have left investors on edge ahead of July 9, offering cryptic signals about which countries were close to agreements and which were off track. The outcome will help determine the future of Trump's trade agenda – one of the centerpieces of his 2024 campaign – with high stakes for the global economy and America's relationships with allies and adversaries alike. Even with those high stakes, it was still unclear whether the administration would hold firm on the deadline or extend it to allow more time for talks. Bessent on Friday said about 20 countries that don't reach deals by next Wednesday could continue negotiating but would see their tariff rates reverted to the higher April 2 rate or stay at 10% if they are deemed to be 'negotiating in good faith,' Bessent said. However, hours later, Trump reiterated his threat to unilaterally set tariff rates for countries – even saying he could do so even before July 9. 'The US will not broker individual deals with hundreds of nations,' Trump said. 'We can do whatever we want,' Trump said during a White House press conference. 'I'd like to just send letters out to everybody. 'Congratulations. You're paying 25%',' he added. Later, the president abruptly announced on social media he was terminating trade talks with Canada over its digital services tax and threatened to set a new tariff within a week on the second-largest US trading partner. It's a move that could also be interpreted as a warning shot to other leaders Trump sees as out of line. Canada has withdrawn its digital services tax (DST) on technology companies such as Meta Platforms Inc and Alphabet Inc in a move to restart trade talks with the US. 'Rescinding the DST will allow the negotiations to make vital progress and reinforce our work to create jobs and build prosperity for all Canadians,' finance minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in a social media post late Sunday local time. The rapid-fire statements served as yet another reminder for foreign governments of just how sudden the president's policy swings can be. The frenzied final days before the deadline featured leaders lobbying the president, delegations travelling to Washington and Trump and his aides offering mixed messages about how negotiations will be resolved. The US is nearing agreements with some economies, including Taiwan and Indonesia, according to a person familiar with the discussions. 'Pacts with Vietnam and South Korea are also possible,' the person said. Trump himself has repeatedly teased a deal with India, as negotiators met last week in Washington to break a deadlock over key issues. Both the US and the EU have grown more optimistic about reaching agreement. Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick told Bloomberg Television last week that there will be some 'top 10 deals' done with major economies by the July date. 'We're going to do top 10 deals, put them in the right category, and then these other countries will fit behind,' Lutnick said. 'My sense is the White House will potentially give a delay for some countries if they are negotiating in good faith or earnestly,' said Clark Packard, a research fellow who focuses on trade at the libertarian Cato Institute. 'I do think some deals will be struck and some won't. I do think some countries will retaliate,' he added. While Trump's approach may win him some concessions from trading partners, the erratic effort has injected uncertainty into the financial markets, and created anxiety for domestic businesses. The lack of clarity around the deadline heightens the tension. Trump entered office vowing to reduce US trading deficits and boost domestic manufacturing and has made his tariff agenda the linchpin of his effort to reshape global trade flows. He unveiled higher tariffs in April, but quickly halted them after markets panicked over investor fears they could trigger a global recession. For months, Trump and his aides have promised that numerous deals are coming – notably trade adviser Peter Navarro said in April that '90 deals in 90 days' was the target. Not only is the president likely to fall short of that number, the deals that have been made have included cautionary tales for other negotiating partners. The UK entered its framework expecting duties on metals imports to fall to zero, only to see the US keep 25% levies on steel and aluminium with a promise to broker a future quota systems. Rare earths shipments that Trump said China agreed to resume quickly in a round of talks in London have yet to fully materialise. Some partners, including Japan, India and EU, have balked at signing deals without knowing how badly they'll be hit by separate levies on exports including chips, drugs and commercial aircraft. The US commerce department will announce the results of probes into some of those sectors in the coming weeks, which could lead to levies. There is also uncertainty about the legality of the tariffs as a legal battle plays out over Trump's use of emergency powers to impose the levies. The US court of international trade ruled in May that the majority of the tariffs were issued illegally and ordered them blocked, but an appeals court has allowed them to remain in place until it hears the case in late July. While Trump's threats have unsettled the world, his practice of making sweeping tariff threats – only to back down later – has signaled to other world leaders even modest concessions can secure retreats. Investors have grown so used to the pattern they've adopted the acronym 'TACO' – or 'Trump Always Chickens Out' – to describe the phenomenon. For Trump, who has long promoted himself as a dealmaker, reaching the agreements is often as important – if not more so – than their substance. He favours quick deals and has grown openly impatient with the drawn-out process. Voters have been less receptive to Trump's approach. A Quinnipiac University poll, conducted from June 5-9, found 57% of voters disapproved of his handling of trade.

Trump pushes congress to pass his ‘big beautiful bill' as debate clouds path forward
Republican leaders are working to pass Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill by July 4, despite national debt concerns. (AP pic) WASHINGTON : President Donald Trump urged fellow Republicans in the US senate on Tuesday to advance his sweeping tax-cut and spending bill, as party hardliners and moderates squabbled over proposed spending cuts. Republican leaders are pushing to get what Trump calls his One Big Beautiful Bill Act through congress and to his desk before the July 4 Independence Day holiday. The bill would add trillions to the US$36.2 trillion national debt. Senate Republicans are at odds over the bill's details. Some want to make fewer cuts to social programmes including Medicaid healthcare for lower-income Americans while hardliners want deep spending cuts to limit growth of the federal deficit. Some lawmakers have said it could take until August to pass the bill. 'This rural hospital thing is really becoming a drag,' Republican senator Josh Hawley of Missouri told reporters. He was referring to provisions that rural hospitals fear would reduce their funding and perhaps cause some to cease operations. Republican senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who faces a potentially difficult reelection 2026 campaign, told reporters a possible proposal to create a US$100 billion rural hospital fund wouldn't be enough to keep those facilities fully operating. Another influential Republican, senator Susan Collins of Maine, who also is up for reelection next year, told reporters she still has concerns about the bill's funding for Medicaid generally. 'To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must, don't go home, and GET THE DEAL DONE THIS WEEK. Work with the House so they can pick it up, and pass it, IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT'S DONE,' Trump said in a post on social media. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, who attended a senate Republican lunch on Tuesday, said afterward that Congress is on track to meet the July 4 deadline. 'I am confident that what the senate passes over to the house will move through the house very quickly,' Bessent said. The emerging senate legislation would extend expiring provisions of Trump's 2017 tax cuts, fund his crackdown on immigration and boost military spending. The senate bill would also raise the federal debt ceiling by another US$5 trillion, adding pressure for action as the government heads toward an 'X date' for a potentially catastrophic default this summer. 'We're getting close to the warning track,' Bessent told reporters. 'Debt buster' The version passed last month by the house of representatives could increase the federal deficit by at least US$2.8 trillion, despite a boost in economic activity, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said last week. Independent analysts predict the senate version would cost more. 'Republicans know their plan is a debt buster but they don't seem to care,' Senate democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York told reporters. 'They're actually putting this country in the debt with the tax cuts,' he added. 'They know that.' Senate majority leader John Thune has said his chamber is on track to pass the bill this week. House speaker Mike Johnson said his chamber would then take the legislation up quickly. Republicans control both houses of congress. 'Hopefully, when push comes to shove and everybody has to say 'yes' or 'no,' we'll get the number of votes that we need,' said Thune, citing the legislation's sweeping number of Republican priorities. The debate has been compounded by a string of opinions from the nonpartisan senate parliamentarian, who is ruling on what elements of the bill comply with the procedure Republicans are using to bypass the Senate's 60-vote filibuster. The bill cannot pass without bypassing the filibuster because solid opposition by Senate Democrats will not allow it to garner 60 votes in the 100-seat Senate. The parliamentarian has blocked provisions that would cut spending for financial watchdogs, allow offshore gas and oil projects to skirt environmental reviews and glean savings from food assistance programs for the poor and the elimination of green tax credits. Those decisions have caused alarm among house Republican hardliners, who could block the legislation if it returns to their chamber with those provisions absent. 'It looks to me like the parliamentarian is killing the bill. She's taking out all of the conservative spending cuts that we very carefully, with a razor's edge, passed in the house,' said representative Keith Self, a prominent hardliner. Thune has repeatedly ruled out the possibility of overruling the parliamentarian, whose role is widely viewed by lawmakers as vital to the integrity of the Senate. But Republicans have been able to win the parliamentarian's approval by revising the language of some previously blocked provisions.

US Senate Republicans seek agreement on Trump tax-cut, spending bill
US President Donald Trump expressed 'hope' that the tax-cut and spending bill would pass before the July 4 Independence Day holiday. (File pic) WASHINGTON : US Senate Republicans today were trying to reach consensus over President Donald Trump's sprawling tax-cut and spending bill, including proposed healthcare cuts that have worried some of their more populist-minded members. Top Senate Republican John Thune has the difficult task of keeping his 53-member majority in line, as they use a parliamentary maneuver to bypass unified Democratic opposition to Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' which would extend his 2017 tax cuts and boost spending on border security and the military. Thune's task was further complicated this week as the Senate parliamentarian, a nonpartisan referee, informed Republicans that more than US$250 billion in healthcare cuts in the Republican bill did not qualify for inclusion under long-standing budget rules. An earlier version of the bill passed by the House of Representatives last month was forecast to add about US$3 trillion to the federal government's US$36.2 trillion debt. Yesterday, Trump expressed 'hope' that the bill would pass before the July 4 Independence Day holiday. Lawmakers will face a far more serious deadline later this summer, when they need to raise the nation's self-imposed debt ceiling or risk a devastating default. Kevin Hassett, Trump's top economic adviser, also told reporters at the White House that Trump remains 'highly confident' that Congress will pass the bill by July 4. He said Trump talked about the legislation with Thune yesterday at the White House. 'Trump is 'fully engaged' in seeing the bill pass the finish line,' he said. The lengthy talks have laid bare divisions within Trump's Republican Party and the difficulties of passing such massive legislation with thin margins of control. Three Republican 'no' votes in either chamber would be enough to scuttle the bill. Senate Republicans have been arguing for weeks over one provision in particular: a Medicaid cut that several senators feared could put rural hospitals in tough financial straits or even out of business. Behind closed doors, Republicans were trying to figure out a way to possibly tweak their language to make the savings conform to Senate rules. Democrats kept hammering away at a bill that they say cuts social safety net programmes that also include food aid for the poor in order to pay for tax cuts that mainly benefit the wealthy. Besides healthcare disagreements, talks continued with House Republican counterparts on SALT, a state and local tax cap on deductions imposed in Trump's 2017 tax-cut law. It has angered lawmakers mainly in coastal states where home prices and property taxes are higher than most other parts of the country. There were some signs of progress late yesterday, however, as US treasury secretary Scott Bessent asked Republicans to remove a controversial 'retaliatory tax' proposal from the bill targeting foreign investors. Republican senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma told reporters that a retooled package could come together within the next 24 hours or so, saying, 'We've all had our say, we've all fought hard for our provisions. Now we're building a package'.
