Amerikanske virksomheder søger i stor stil om at få udvidet listen med stål-, aluminiums- og kobberprodukter, som bliver pålagt 50 procent straftold. Det koster danske virksomheder store beløb og har skabt et bureaukratisk monster i både EU og USA. @peterbay.bsky.social 👇

Dagens brev til EU er forhåbentlig forhandlingstaktik fra Trumps side. 30 procent straftold er uacceptabelt og skal hurtigst muligt fejes af forhandlingsbordet. Ellers må EU svare behørigt igen 1. aug, siger @peterbay.bsky.social til DR

Det er selvsagt positivt, at spændingsniveauet mellem USA og Kina er kommet lidt ned med en ny handelsaftale. Uforudsigeligheden - som har været et gennemgående kendetegn ved Trumps handelskrig - består imidlertid, siger @peterbay.bsky.social

If - as rumour has it - the US eases export controls on advanced semiconductors as part of a trade deal with China, it would seem that China has been the main beneficiary of Trump’s trade war.

I’ve just been on Danish TV re Trump’s tariff pause. Positive that he now backtracks, but it has been a chaotic process. For companies, it is impossible to decipher what rules apply for tomorrow's US-trade. Uncertainty translates into a lack of investments and lower growth.

Trump's tariffs? No one was asking for any of this. A recent Gallup poll found that 81% of Americans surveyed believe trade is a growth opportunity—the highest level since the poll began in 1992—and only 14% view trade as an economic threat. by @douglasirwin.bsky.social

U.S. imported 577 bn USD worth of goods from EU in 2023. If those goods are slapped with 25% ekstra tariffs, US companies and consumers will have to pay around 144 bn USD more for those same goods. Inflation will go up or welfare will go down - either way, Americans are worse off.
