We have a big event happening tomorrow. Katie will get the official unveiling, but a major trade deal was struck between the United States and “a big, and highly respected, country.” Is it the United Kingdom? That’s been circling the rumor mill. We are in trade talks with our cousins across the pond, but they’re not the only ones.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will meet with Chinese officials in Switzerland over the weekend. Talks with India are ongoing, but their recent armed spat with Pakistan might put those on hold. Who knows, but trade deals are being hashed out, as the world and the markets are now seeing tariff policy not as a permanent tool regarding American economic power but as a negotiating tactic

Trump says US has a "major trade deal" with a big country that he will announce tomorrow— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) May 8, 2025

U.S.-UK TRADE AGREEMENT TO BE SIGNED NEXT WEEK: FT— NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) May 6, 2025
The market is on a significant rebound after a slight readjustment. It’s a substantial rebound after the media said we were on the verge of Great Depression 2.0 in April. That was fake news. The market had nine straight days of gain, which has happened only eight times in 25 years.
The Trump economy is coming together in real-time, and it will be special.

UPDATE: It’s the United Kingdom (via NYT):
President Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that the United States will strike a trade agreement with Britain, according to three people familiar with the plans.
Mr. Trump teased a new trade agreement in a social media post on Wednesday night, though he did not specify which nation was part of the deal.
“Big News Conference tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M., The Oval Office, concerning a MAJOR TRADE DEAL WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF A BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY. THE FIRST OF MANY!!!” he wrote.
A spokesman for the White House declined to comment beyond Mr. Trump’s post. A spokesman for the British Embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.
Piece by piece, the puzzle is falling into place and the picture is perfect.
Tariffs (or the threat thereof) indicate Trump still is a Stable Genius.
Well, except for the Legion of treasonous America hating federal pigs on the bench who are obstructing President Trump at every turn. They're slowing his progress.
Stop with the teases. Just say it if it imprtant.
I don’t like people who tease.
Stripper: There’s one in every audience.
They are teasing an announcement of a deal that won’t be signed until next week. Go figure. The only reason I can see for holding it back a little bit would because it is disruptive to stock and foreign exchange markets. But that doesn’t excuse the pre-announcement of an announcement of a deal that isn’t done. Maybe to put pressure on UK to follow through?
It’s the UK, a country we have a trade SURPLUS with. I was hoping for something more significant. At least Vietnam.
Is that a negotiation tactic?
“ Stop with the teases. Just say it if it imprtant.
I don’t like people who tease.”

OKAY…it’s Liechtenstein. /sarc
The UK will not follow through. Everyone wants Trump and America to lose.
All this will do is make Trump and the United States look bad. He cannot seal the deal and make things happen. This will be another Trump failure.
Trump need to win win win instead of lose lose lose.
I would only announce it if the deal was sign, sealed, and delivered. I wouldn’t want to look foolish.
Everyone doing nothing is mad at the people doing something because they aren’t doing it fast enough.
Classic.
Britain is an excellent first tariff deal. It will provide a pattern for other countries and trigger more intense negotiations with them.
When will see $2.00/gallon gas?
That will give the economy a roundhouse kick-start.
UK deal? So Rolls-Royce can keep the jet (turbofan) engine jobs in the UK now I guess:
You coulda fooled me!
Every post you make, makes you look the fool you ARE!
Our has is still $3.39- hasn’t budged in months.
Where I live in rural Western Oregon the price of gas seems to change every day, with regular fluctuating between 3.50 and 4.00.
lol
