He's cut deals with Starmer, which you didn't mention, and China. Carney in
Canada just said he would lower tariff's so we shall see if his gambling pays

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was signed into law by Republican Herbert Hoover

Smoot-Hawley had done its work and the economy of the US and the economy of the
entire world was a basket case.

Deals? There were no deals, although there were two retreats, Trump agreed to
backtrack and reduce the tariff on imports from the UK back to where they were
before on cars, steel and aluminum. And Trump reduced the tariff on China for
90 days to a still catastrophic 30% from 145%. That's it.
