Trade Deal a ‘Major Win for President Trump,’ ‘Major Concession’ by European Union

(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/04/Donald-Trump-carbon-emissions-640x480.jpg)

President Donald Trump scored a “major win” on Wednesday by reaching a limited trade deal with the European Union, which made a “major concession” to the United States to avoid a trade war.
That’s according to business news anchor Neil Cavuto of Fox News — who just last week blasted President Trump over his press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland.

Amidst recent tariffs and tensions, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker arrived at the White House with two options for a deal to avoid a wider trade war, according to ABC News: “eliminate tariffs on cars for all trading partners or create a limited free trade agreement between the U.S. and EU on industrial goods.”

Trump opted for the latter — and secured Europe’s agreement to buy more American soybeans and liquified natural gas (LNG). The two also announced that they would begin “to work together toward zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies on non-auto industrial goods,” in Trump’s words.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped on the news, which was seen as a major win for Trump’s gamble of using tariffs, tweets, and threats to extract concessions from U.S. trading partners.

Cavuto said:

This is a dramatic, a stunning development, on trade … The Europeans, it might be deemed, have blinked. They have made concessions to President Trump … to meet the president’s demand that lifts tariffs that are already in effect against the European Union. This is a major win for President Trump. It is a major concession on the part of the European Union … A few hours ago, they were pooh-poohing — all the major publications … for the President of the United States, a win, and a big one, economically.

In your hatred of Trump, you can’t see that he’s using them as a negotiating tactic. I know leftists like to believe that the United States is the only country imposing tariffs but all countries do.

Everyone in his administration knows tariffs are bad economics but he figures he can deal with some short-term pain and then win in the long run as he usually does. I think he’s right simply because of the size of the US market which is 10 times that of Canada and 15 times that of Mexico. They need us more than we need them.  That goes for China too.

Second-quarter GDP jumps 4.1% for best pace in nearly four years

US core capital goods orders and shipments surge in June
Gross domestic product grew at a solid 4.1 percent pace in the second quarter, its best pace since 2014, boosting hopes that the economy is ready to break out of its decade-long slumber.

The number matched expectations from economists surveyed by Reuters and was boosted by a surge in consumer spending and business investment.

That's the fastest rate of the growth since the third quarter of 2014 and the third-best growth rate since the Great Recession. In addition to the strong second quarter, the Commerce Department revised its first-quarter reading up from 2 percent to 2.2 percent.


In addition to the rise in consumer and business spending, increases in exports and government spending also helped. Declines in private inventory investment and residential fixed investment were the main drags, the report said.

In recent days, White House officials have been indicating the reading will be strong.

President Donald Trump himself tweeted a few days ago that the U.S. has the "best financial numbers on the planet," while National Economic Council Chairman Larry Kudlow predicted on Thursday that Q2 GDP will be "big."

The administration has used a mix of tax cuts, deregulation and spending increases to goose growth. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney told CNBC earlier this week that deregulation likely has had the most impact so far as companies feel more comfortable about committing capital.

The next question will be whether the growth spurt is sustainable. There were several jumps in GDP under former President Barack Obama. That Q3 increase in 2014 was preceded by a 4.6 percent rise in the second quarter. But by the end of 2015, growth had slowed to 0.5 percent. Federal Reserve officials forecast GDP to rise 2.8 percent for all of 2018 but then to tail off to 2.4 percent in 2019 and 2 percent in 2020.

Economists surveyed by Reuters expected that gross domestic product grew at a 4.1 percent annualized rate.

How China's tariffs on soybeans fueled the US GDP bump

The U.S. economy grew 4.1% in the second quarter, partly due to a burst in soybean and corn exports, according to economists. In May, the latest data available, soybean exports nearly doubled compared to in April. Producers were in a rush to beat tit-for-tat sanctions, soybean exports are up 26% for the year compared to 2017.

In the second quarter, the U.S. recorded an 80% annualized jump in food, feed and beverage exports, mainly from soybeans and corn. Without that surge, exports would have increased 5.3% instead of 9.3%, which means the GDP growth would have been around 3.6%, according to Paul Ashworth, the chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

David Rosenberg, the chief economist of Gluskin Sheff, argues trade disputes may play an even bigger role in inflating GDP. “At least half the growth is coming from two trade-related issues — a soybean-led export burst and inventory accumulation. Net these out and we remain near 2%”

The takeaway being that if you combine the potential of the United States economy with competent leadership, the sky is the limit.

In Trump win, Canada, U.S. deal saves NAFTA as trilateral pact

In a big victory for his agenda to shake-up an era of global free trade that many associate with the signing of NAFTA in 1994, President Donald Trump coerced Canada and Mexico to accept more restrictive commerce with their main export partner.

Trump's primary objective in reworking NAFTA was to bring down U.S. trade deficits, a goal he has also pursued with China, by imposing hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs on imported goods from the Asian giant.

While the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) avoids tariffs, it will make it harder for global auto makers to build cars cheaply in Mexico and is aimed at bringing more jobs into the United States.

LOL - I see that not a single Trumptard can answer my question

Are any of you idiots even aware that Trumptard was trying to re-negotiate NAFTA without involving Canada which was not even allowed under the original agreement

That's the reason why this didn't get done sooner

They needed to go back and have Canada included

Pretty hilarious that you guys are celebrating a one day jump in the Dow (which no one actually gives a shit about)

Any update on how the tariffs are impacting US Companies

The following is a list of recent comments made by U.S. companies (I'm sure they've all taken today off to celebrate the Dow)

Quote
- Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N) said U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports are expected to increase its material costs by about $100 million to $200 million in the second half of the year. The heavy machinery maker plans to offset most of the higher costs with mid-year price hikes.

- General Electric Co (GE.N) estimated that new tariffs on its imports from China could raise its costs by $300 million to $400 million overall, before steps to lessen the impact.

- Detroit automakers General Motors Co (GM.N), Ford Motor Co (F.N) and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCHA.MI) (FCAU.N) lowered their full-year profit forecasts due to escalating tariffs.

- Boeing Co (BA.N) is concerned about the impact of possible trade tariffs on the cost of running its supply chain, but has not yet seen any impact from U.S.-Chinese trade tensions on its business, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg said.

- U.S. industrial conglomerate Honeywell International Inc (HON.N) said it would increase the use of supply chain sources from non-China countries to counter growing costs related to a tariff war between the world’s two largest economies.

- Home furnishings chain At Home Group Inc (HOME.N) said it would make adjustments to its supply chain to mitigate the impact of the proposed tariffs on goods imported from China.

- Home furnishing retailer Pier 1 Imports (PIR.N) says the company does not expect financial results in fiscal 2019 to be materially affected by proposed tariffs. About 59 percent of the company’s fiscal 2019 net sales are expected to be derived from merchandise produced in China.


Of the 59 percent of 2019 sales from Chinese merchandise, about half is expected to have products subject to proposed tariff.

- U.S. motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson Inc (HOG.N) said it expected incremental costs of about $15 million to $20 million for the remainder of the year from the steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by Trump. It also says it will take further hits from retaliatory moves from the European Union.

- Polaris Industries Inc (PII.N), which makes Indian motorcycles, raised its 2018 cost estimates related to tariffs to $40 million from $7 million, and said it expected to ramp up motorcycle production in Poland for European market in 2019 to offset higher costs.

- Diversified industrial manufacturer 3M Co (MMM.N) said it expects an impact of about $10 million, or 1 cent per share, on an annualized basis from the tariffs passed so far. The company also said it was prepared to make changes to supply, sourcing and pricing in response to any further tariffs.

- Paper and packaging company International Paper (IP.N) Chief Executive Officer Mark Sutton says the company has so far not had any direct impact from tariff disputes.

- Otis elevator maker United Technologies Corp (UTX.N) said based on tariffs which have been enacted so far it expects to see 5 cent per share impact in 2018. The company expects to see a much bigger impact in 2019.

- Medical device maker Boston Scientific (BSX.N) said it buys a “very small portion” of components from China and that it has the ability to substitute with other suppliers outside of China since it does not manufacture in the country. - Upscale home furnishing chain RH (RH.N) expects to reduce significantly the amount of goods sourced from China in its 2019 fiscal year to mitigate the impact of proposed new tariffs by the United States.

- Gentex Corp (GNTX.O), a maker of aircraft windows and rear-view mirrors, said it expected cost increases of between $5 million and $8 million for the second half of 2018 related to its planned purchases of raw materials from China.

- Meat Processor Tyson Foods Inc (TSN.N) cut its full-year profit forecast, citing the uncertainty in trade policies and increased tariffs that have hurt domestic and export prices of meat.

- Toymaker Hasbro Inc (HAS.O) said it was moving more production out of China as a result of the tariffs, adding 30 percent of its manufacturing was now done elsewhere.

- Danaher Corp (DHR.N), which develops technology for the dental, life sciences, diagnostics and environmental industries, said it expected an earnings impact of 1 cent per quarter, and that it would look to modify manufacturing locations.

- U.S. pipeline operator Plains All American Pipeline (PAA.N) said the tariffs were tolerable for the company, but it applied for exemptions. However, the company added that if it could not get the exemption or the required quota of steel, “it would just basically extend and delay growth.”

This NAFTA deal still has to be approved by Congress which possibly won't happen until 2019

The steel and aluminum tariff remain in place and Canada already got an exemption for their auto makers for up to 2.6 million autos imported to the US which is fine with Canada since they have only been sending us ~ 1.8 million

The following is a list of recent comments made by U.S. companies (I'm sure they've all taken today off to celebrate the Dow)

Cat is trash and has consistently over priced their shit.  Then they gouge on parts and service.  SAD!

Last week I got an annual report from my investment manager. My conservative and less conservative mix of investments earned 1.5%. Whoopee!!! Tell me, how can I get on the Trump gravy train?

You must be all in bonds and/or cash/cash equivalents.

I'm not the one who posted this in this thread as some sort of thing to celebrate

The Dow has exploded since Trump took office and you say 1 day jump.

Fire your investment manager immediately.  He's a hardened criminal who is raping you.  Then again, you might like that.  I don't know.  I'm not judging.

A portfolio with a mixture of low cost, broad, whole US stock, whole international stock, and whole US bond(gov & corp, short, mid, and long term) index funds should be returning at least 6% right now.  And this is somewhat conservative.

A young or middle age person investing all into a single low cost, whole(small, mid, and large cap) US stock market index fund should be seeing returns of 11% to 13% right now.

Schumer is now a "Trumptard", by Straw Man's standards.

Trump gets rare praise from Schumer after deal to replace Nafta

President Donald Trump on Monday got rare kudos from the man he has sometimes referred to as “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer,” as the Senate minority leader joined those in welcoming a replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement.

"The president deserves praise for taking large steps to improve it."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

They also had the same stance on the Iran deal. Where they differ though is how to deal with hair loss. Schumer has bad hair plugs while Trump has an awful comb over.

Schumer must have benefitted in some way, either personally or politically.

Since when do Trumptards like Schumer or Pelosi or any Dem

Trump sole "success" was simply not breaking up the 3 nation agreement

Congratulations, he managed to drive the car and wrap it around a tree

Not sure why NAFTA would matter in any way to you since you're not even a citizen of any country that is a party to it

BTW - Like everything else about Trump and Republicans this "tweaking" of NAFTA will likely not produce the predicted positive results for our country (sorry, I meant my country)

Take your investments out of a fixed interest account and live a little. :o

I'm hoping to live long enough that you will be as old as I am now so I can give you shit, like you do me sometimes. ;)
