Anatomy of a Cry-Baby-trump tariff negotiation...
1. Recall from childhood how foreign countries imposed tariffs on the USA.
2. Arbitrarily impose a 145% tariff on China.
3. Without any intervention or communication from China, declare that tariff should probably be 80%.
4. Without any intervention or communication from China, anonymously float the idea that tariff could be reduced to 40%.
5. Announce the concept of deal, with a carve-out for Rolls Royce vehicles, which basically changes nothing.
