July 9 tariffs now officially TACO TUESDAY - SteveG - 07-07-2025
No tariffs on Chickens!
Trump and US commerce secretary say tariffs are delayed until 1 August
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/06/trump-tariff-delay
Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration plans to start sending letters on Monday to US trade partners, dictating new tariff rates to be imposed on goods they sell to Americans. “It could be 12, maybe 15,” the president told reporters, “and we’ve made deals also, so we’re going to have a combination of letters and some deals have been made.”
With his previously announced 90-day pause on tariffs set to end on 9 July, the president was asked if the new rates would go into effect this week, or on 1 August, as some officials had suggested.
“No, they’re going to be tariffs, the tariffs, the tariffs are going to be, the tariffs,” the President began, uncertainly, “I think we’ll have most countries done by July 9, yeah. Either a letter or a deal.”
Sensing the confusion, his commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick jumped in to add: “But they go into effect on August 1. Tariffs go into effect August 1, but the president is setting the rates and the deals right now.”
Howie and Donald make such a great team, doncha think?

I saw that this morning on the political talk shows.
The problem is that trade deals typically take YEARS to set up. Dump has no concept of anything taking that long. After all, he said that there's be peace in the Middle East and that the Russia-Ukraine War would be over within 24 hours of his taking office?
