Trump takes victory lap after tariff deals with EU and Japan
President Donald Trump is taking a victory lap over his latest tariff deals with the European Union and Japan. In both cases, uh the EU with its 27 member states and Japan will have their goods taxed at 15% by the United States. Meanwhile, Trump says US products will face no tariffs in those countries. He’s talking about investments those countries are going to make into the United States. And to him, it is a good sign that his strategy works. But we don’t know how durable a victory this is because it could be that those taxes are ultimately borne by US consumers and businesses. It might be that the manufacturing jobs don’t come back. So, we’re still in the opening stages. Just because it looks like a win at first doesn’t mean it will be a win in the long run.
President Donald Trump is getting his way with the world economy. But high tariffs are likely to raise prices for American consumers and businesses that rely on imports and make the U.S. economy less efficient over time.

Took a victory lap for increasing taxes on Americans (release the files)
Picks fights, then claims victory.
Don't even tell me in your dreams, it's like you 😅doing a job and having to pay for it, idiot.
the fist bump thumbnail he's fist bumping his constant failing
Why are we still listening to trump?
He has Zero signed Trade agreements with ZERO countries. Your headline is misleading. Do better
Great. Now why don't you stop funding a genocide.
Ursula von der Leyen capitulated so the feminized EU could launder more US money thru Ukraine and strut around like the big dog.
Release the Epstein files! Trump said he was going to get all of this done a long time ago 😂
Now tell everyone how victorious this is for consumers!
Are you tired of winning Americans 😂😂😂
Great for America
Forcing our ALLIES to bend to your will is not the same as bending China and Russia. Massive fail when the Europeans and Japanese start expanding their trade to rely less and less on the US. Which will happen after this.
The strongest , bravest, smartest and the best President in modern time of American History
The lying felon has not told anyone that his tariffs are and will cost us more
Where's the list?
Tariff, high or low, isn't victory, not in any possible sense. All american gotta relearn high-school economics.
Lord Jesus.🙄🙏
There is only one problem the EU and Japan do not agree with Trump on what the deal is … oh snap!
Toyota has fewer tariffs imposed on it than Ford 😂
He is using the leverage built by hard working Americans over the last 100 years or so. He himself has built nothing, only an inherited fortune from his father.
The USA finally has a President willing to fight for us. The media will always ankle bite Trump no matter how many wars he stops are how many economic wins he gets for us.
Hey Donald's let's hear about your spa staff in mara laho
Whats the victory lap you spoke of and also put in your title?
Liars
