trump has to do negotiations with (currently 75 willing countries), which takes time..
however he wants an answer from china now
so knowing its going to take upto 90 days to get through the current 75 countries negotiations he has done them a favour by not forcing them into the new deal before they can negotiate..
however again trump wants china to come to the negotiation table now, not in upto 90 days

You are the king of childish responses. "He" is not going to be in 75 negotiations, there will be a few teams in each region that will do something that they could and should have done anyway without having to cause a market caos, scare investment and create a problem for everyone. This is what happens when you get a text-book narcissist in a government.
you missed many things AS USUAL
its about countries COMING TO THE US's NEGOTIATING TABLE and meet with the US cabinet and other departments, which trump also wants to be in the room for
south korea was already on a plane yesterday, as was japan. italy will visit next week
and a schedule being set up for the rest
its not about both side just agreeing on a number. its about the other countries coming up with unique deals of things that might interest trump.
"tailored tariff deals"
their message to foreign counterparts seems simple: If they have a unique card to play, they should.
Ideas being discussed run the gamut, and include possible action on securing the freedom of Americans wrongfully detained abroad, committing to working with US artificial intelligence companies, buying more US energy or combatting global drug trafficking, according to five people familiar with the brainstorming sessions.
if you think a bunch of US guys(as YOU childishly do) are going to travel to 75 countries at the foreign table.. you missed the whole point, not just many.. you missed them all
trumps negotiation table is seats for Trump, Vance, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Homeland Security, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, U.S. Trade Representative, Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing
heck if countries have a playing card for Defense contracts then the DoD will be at the table too
Again, childish untought responses... what a surprise.
Again, you do not need a "Ruin-nation" day to bring partners to a negotiating table, you just pick-up the phone and ring them.
You do not need to permanently damage the credibility of the US - which costs years to build - nor create disruptions in the supply chains, nor flah-crash the market (I am guessing Trump and other may have perfectly taken the ocasion to flash-short x 100 leverage and make millions in some hidden fiscal haven).
There is no need to send a "mafia" message in public with a stupid board and put 100% tariffs on Leshoto (a minimal country with no access to the sea in the middle of Africa
) to negotiate.All this has been a miserable PR excercise paid at the expense of the reputation of the US and the funds of many pensioners, savers and taxpayers. The most expensive stunt to date.
