The administration has signed a trade deal with Japan, with 15% tariffs on Japanese imports (down from a threatened 25%). The deal does not cover Japanese exports of steel and aluminum, currently subject to a 50% tariff. Bessent says Japan got the 15% rate because they were willing to provide the US an innovative financing arrangement...........a $550 billion package of U.S.-bound investment and loans. Japan's auto sector, which accounts for over 25% of its US exports, will see existing tariffs cut to 15% from levies totaling 27.5% previously. Duties that were due to come into effect on other Japanese goods from August 1 will also be cut to 15% from 25%. .

And retirees.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller will dissent if his colleagues vote to hold interest rates steady at their July meeting, making his case for a rate cut to support the labor market. Waller says while it’s important not to dissent regularly, officials should take the step if you make it very clear you think at this moment in time this is an important thing to do.

The F-MAX looks absolutely brilliant to me. A cutting edge truck. I'm extremely proud of Ford and partner Otosan. They've enthusiastically pushed and made it all happen.......a lot of hard work......with Bill Ford's unwavering support.

“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.” JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon

No, not really as I've never met them. That event was mysterious indeed, as if an entity enticed a group of gullible individuals to create an embarrassment for Trump, an excuse for the Democrats to keep Trump out of government forever after. And they almost succeeded. Anyway, it's time for the illegal aliens to go home.

Never before have I seen such a massive group of disrespectful and disgusting human beings. Such uncultured uncivilized beings do not deserve to be in the United States. . .

Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has told the BBC his fellow Democrats allowed the US-Mexico border to be "under siege" during Biden's presidency. Kerry told Biden the Democratic party had "missed" on the issue of immigration for years, allowing Republicans like Trump to gain political advantage. "The first thing any president should say - or anybody in public life - is without a border protected, you don't have a nation," Kerry said. "I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I'm going to enforce the law." Democrats, many of whom advocate more relaxed immigration laws and a pathway to citizenship for undocumented migrants, attempted to portray Trump's positions as harsh and discriminatory. Kerry says that was a mistake. "Trump was right," Kerry said. "The problem is we all should have been right."
