1. The Trump Administration: Policy and Actions
1.1. Economic and Trade Policy
The administration has achieved a significant outcome in trade negotiations with Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has rescinded its digital services tax, a move one outlet called a “big win” for President Trump [1]. This action is seen as a direct capitulation, following the President’s decision to halt trade talks and refuse an extension on a July 9 deadline [2, 3]. On a global scale, President Trump has indicated a direct and personalized approach to future tariff adjustments, stating he will send letters to countries, including Japan, to inform them of their “new tariff rates” [4]. Domestically, financial indicators are strongly positive. Both the S&P and Nasdaq have achieved record highs for the second consecutive day, with reports noting the S&P’s best quarter since December 2023 and Treasuries experiencing their best half in five years [5]. This positive economic climate is also reflected in consumer costs, with a report indicating that the price of an average July 4th cookout has decreased for American families [6].
