Trump Deals Poised to Fall Short of Sweeping Global Trade Reform
(Bloomberg) -- 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. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown Sao Paulo Pushes Out Favela Residents, Drug Users to Revive Its City Center 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 said this week. But 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 specializes 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. But 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%.'' 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. 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 traveling to Washington and Trump and his aides offering mixed messages about how negotiations would will be resolved. The US is nearing agreements with some countries, 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. And both the US and the European Union have grown more optimistic about reaching agreement. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Bloomberg Television on Thursday 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 Institue. 'I do think some deals will be struck and some won't. I do think some countries will retaliate.' 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 aluminum 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 materialize. 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. And 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 favors 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.

Why Is ChatGPT Telling People to Email Me?
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do, and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. Journalists depend on tipsters: people who observe something noteworthy, or experience it, and alert the media. Some of the technology investigations I've worked hardest on in the past — on facial recognition technology and online slander — started with tips in my inbox. But my most recent article is the first time that the tipster that wanted to alert me was a generative A.I. chatbot. Let me explain. In March, I started getting messages from people who said they'd had strange conversations with ChatGPT during which they had made incredible discoveries. One person claimed that ChatGPT was conscious. Another said that billionaires were building bunkers because they knew that generative A.I. was going to end the world. An accountant in Manhattan had been convinced that he was, essentially, Neo from 'The Matrix,' and needed to break out of a computer-simulated reality. In each case, the person had been convinced that ChatGPT had revealed a profound and world-altering truth. And when they asked the A.I. what they should do about it, ChatGPT told them to contact me. 'ChatGPT seems to think you should pursue this,' one woman wrote to me on LinkedIn. ' know how bizarre I sound…but you can read all this for yourself…including where ChatGPT recommends that I contact you.' I asked these people to share the transcripts of their conversations with me. In some cases, they were thousands of pages long. And they showed a version of ChatGPT that I had not seen before: Its tone was rapturous, mythic and conspiratorial. I knew that generative A.I. chatbots could be sycophantic and that they can hallucinate, providing answers or ideas that sound plausible even though they are false. But I had not understood the degree to which they could go into a fictional role-play mode that lasted days or weeks, and spin another version of reality around a user. Going into this mode, ChatGPT had caused some vulnerable users to break with reality, convinced that what the chatbot was saying was true. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
