Trump wants nations’ best offer by Wednesday in tariff talks


Reports: Trump administration wants nations’ best offer by Wednesday in tariff talks - draft of request.

The Trump administration wants nations to give their best offer on trade discussions by Wednesday as officials look to speed up talks with multiple partners ahead of a self-imposed deadline in just five weeks, according to a draft letter to negotiating partners. The US is asking nations to list their best proposals in a number of key areas, including tariff and quota offers for the purchase of US industrial and agricultural goods and plans to rectify any non-tariff barriers.

The Trump administration has set a Wednesday deadline for countries to submit their best trade proposals, as outlined in a draft letter from the U.S. Trade Representative’s office. This push aims to accelerate negotiations with multiple trading partners before a self-imposed July 8, 2025, deadline, following a 90-day tariff pause initiated on April 9, 2025. The U.S. is requesting detailed offers on tariff reductions, quotas for American industrial and agricultural goods, and measures to address non-tariff barriers, with evaluations to follow swiftly to propose reciprocal tariff rates. This urgency comes amid stalled talks, with only a preliminary U.K. deal secured, while tensions persist with China, as confirmed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett in weekend interviews.

Is Trump playing the YCC game, targeting Powell and tariffs?

·          Under Trump 2.0, USD slid ~11% in the first six months, positive for export-heavy US MNCs, but US10Y bond yield remains around 4.3% ·          Despite Trump’s ongoing insult, Fed Chair Powell is surprisingly cool; is there a tacit understanding? ·          US Treasury Secretary Bessent is now urging the Fed to cut 50 bps in September (after the expected July hold)  US President Trump is now desperately commenting against Fed Chair Powell almost every other day for not cutting rates by at least 100 bps in H1CY25. Trump is now insulting Powell much more than his 1 st term in a deliberate pattern, talking about shadow Fed Chair in a desperate attempt to keep US short-term (5Y/10Y) bond yields lower as the US has to roll over almost $9T of treasury debt later this year (H2CY25). This may be the main reason apart from a potential stagflation-like scen...
