US Aims for July 9th to Finalize Trade Deals

Senior U.S. trade officials are prioritizing phased trade agreements over the initial plan for 90 deals in 90 days. This shift is aimed at avoiding harsh reciprocal tariff reapplication while maintaining existing tariffs at 10%.

Phased agreements allow specific negotiations with different countries, targeting “principle agreements” on disputed trade aspects. Though vast agreements appear abandoned, narrower deals offer some reprieve from harsher tariffs.
