This week in Washington, the rare rapprochement in the Spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and White House Correspondents’ dinner was a nightmare for the events plan-parties, the excessive load of the painting-and the dream of the network fever. This, after all, is a city where the tales are estimated from access, insight and implementable information such as hard currency. A democratic political legend, which is deserted by Robert Square I told Mourin Dod Dod In her eighties, in the capital, unlike New York, “cocktail parties are work.” In late April, the abundance this year had a particularly strong influence on enlarged the latest news courses that arise from the chaotic White House Donald Trump: Will President Jerome Powell will shoot? Or Higseth House? Is a peace agreement concluded with Russia? An introductory deal with China? Nuclear deal with Iran? Or, as it seems completely possible, nothing of the above?
On Tuesday, hundreds of anxiety financing gathered at the JPMorgan & Co. Conference On the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund’s meetings to hear Scott Payette, the Treasury Secretary of Trump. With the decrease in stock markets after Trump’s “Liberation Day” announced a huge new tariff for China, some investors seized Bessent’s reported statements in the private session, in which he said that a long -term trade war with China was not “sustainable”, and they suggested that the United States and China could ultimately have an agreement to end it. The shares have risen yet Bloomberg I mentioned Bessent’s comments, a day after the markets decreased amid fears that Trump may finally go through and shoot Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, who has long attacked him.
I encountered a short time after two people who attended the JPMorgan conference, and they were surprised by the extent of the market reading in the statements of the Treasury. They told me that BESSENT has made it clear that China and the United States-although it imposed a tariff for more than a hundred percent on each other-do not participate in talks at the present time, and do not care anywhere close to an official deal. BESSENT also acknowledged that the Trump administration will not have any commercial deals that are completed any time soon with dozens of other countries targeted by “mutual” definitions, but instead it hopes to be just a “memorandum of understanding” with each other on the new deadline that he set in early July. Pesent also told the public that there may be two to three years of economic forgetfulness, and it is assumed that the economic turmoil caused by Trump played itself. None of this was in the initial report to move the market by Bloomberg.
Jimmy Damon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, was not on the stage. The two persons who attended the conference narrated that Damon presented an explicit discussion, and the investors told that he hoped that Trump will launch his internal competitor to Pesin, the protection scientist Hawk Peter Navarro, who is currently working as a commercial consultant at the White House; The “mutual” truce plan “Trump” is stupid “; And that the recession is now guaranteed. Chic Vepi: bad.
No wonder, then, that Trump, with all kinds of global bankers in the city, was in a major mode on the economy. Later on Tuesday afternoon, in a clear effort to calm the increasing markets, Trump said he had no intention to launch Powell and blame the media for his suggestion. The president said, days after the entire news cycle started in a post on his social network, in fact, which he said: “End of Powell cannot come quickly enough!” However, by Wednesday, Trump returned to this, and criticized the Federal Reserve Chairman again and demands Powell to reduce interest rates as soon as possible.
As for the Chinese deal, which now seemed that Trump and Pesin were hoping for this, Trump said on Wednesday that the talks were “active” – even with a public repetition of what he said in the private sector on Tuesday, that there were no such discussions so far and that “both sides are waiting to speak to the other.” By Thursday, China was mocking the US President in public. Foreign Ministry spokesman Gu Jiakon, Foreign Ministry spokesman, said the alleged Trump talks. “China and the United States have not held consultations or negotiations on the tariff issue, not to mention reaching an agreement.” Did you get all of this? The bottom line, as often with Trump, is that there is no there. At least now.
When Trump has returned to his post nearly a hundred days ago, he underestimated a large number of deals-from peace in the Middle East to end Russia’s war in Ukraine in the first twenty-four hours. After unveiling his identification plans at the beginning of April, the two countries gave that it had targeted an additional three months to work on conditions before the fees were entered, Navarro talked about the possibility of “ninety deals in ninety days.” However, there were no “big and beautiful deals” that Trump loves to boast yet.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Tami Bruce, on the other day, said that if one does not spend a long time listening to Trump’s swelling and paid employees – he is “the best deals in the world.” Trump’s first first state was noticeable for the deals from which he withdrew, such as the Iranian nuclear agreement and the Paris Climate Agreement, as it was for those who made it, a list that is largely composed of Abraham’s agreements, which the relations between Israel and several of its Arab neighbors have been negotiated, and they were negotiated by Trump Kushner. You have now denying effectively by claiming the approval of both countries on additional concessions. In 2018, Trump boasted of an alleged nuclear penetration with North Korea to the point that he personally asked Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize; The problem was, there was no deal. No peace prize, either. Now that he became president again, don’t hear him talk a lot about his great friend Kim Jong Un.
With Trump’s stampede to put some points on the blackboard in his second term, many of his movements were familiar – the demands of transformation, negotiation through social media, and the general chaotic differences between his advisers, the endless noise. (in MagaThe verse is generally explained as great maneuvers by Trump to win the “leverage”. In Ukraine, Trump was increasingly desperate as his efforts to mediate in the Russian invasion increased. On Wednesday, after his administration threatened to move away if a deal was not achieved immediately, Trump came out and claimed, “I think we have a deal with Russia” and the President of Ukraine, Voludmimer Zellinsky, for refusing to communicate with it. The conditions set by Trump publicly and his vice president, JD Vance, include a long list of concessions that will be imposed on Ukraine: waiving its lands currently occupied by Russia, and agrees to prohibit Ukrainian membership in NATOOfficially realizes that Russia now possesses the Crimea, which was illegally included by Vladimir Putin in 2014.
Trump’s Crime Peninsula Cave is particularly noticeable, as it will represent a major shift in politics from his first term. After a catastrophic meeting between Trump and Putin in Helsinki, in July 2018, Trump’s foreign minister, Mike Pompeo, benefited from bad news courses to issue an official announcement that the United States will never correspond to the theft of Putin in the Crimea. (“The United States rejects Russia’s attempt to annex the Crimea and pledge to preserve this policy so that regional safety is restored in Ukraine,” ReadIn contrast to another unusual, possible, Politico I mentioned On Wednesday, Trump’s envoy, Russia, Stephen Witkeov, prompted the sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in Russia to Germany – although Trump often martyred his opposition to the pipeline during his first term as evidence that he was not in the tank for Putin.
If there is nothing else, both episodes emphasize Trump’s willingness to hide the policies he himself had previously called – one of the origins of the deals maker. If you are Canada or Mexico, why are you concerned with the pain of negotiating another agreement with Trump, given how he treated him with the last time? Regarding Ukraine, Trump’s request to Zelinski on the Crimea will require Zelinski to ignore the Ukraine constitution, which states that the lands within its existing borders must remain “irreversible and cannot be strong.” (Not anyone expects a major constitutional argument with Trump.)
By Thursday, the bullying in Trump did not succeed in Zelinski and Putin’s absorption. Instead, the Russian leader seemed determined to embarrass Trump not only by refusing to accept the numerous concessions of the American President but by continuing to escalate the war; Russian missile attacks on Kiev during the night have killed at least nine civilians. “Vladimir, stop!” Trump appealed to a social publication of the truth, describing his attack as “not necessary” and “very bad timing”. He added, “Let’s accomplish the peace deal!” By the afternoon, he returned to Putin’s absorption, and announced to reporters at the Oval Office that Russia did not need to make additional concessions to Ukraine further than stopping the war, because Ukraine would lose all its lands, and that was a “great privilege”. He was expected to return to Moscow on Friday. Dancing has a few other tours to play.
Next week, Trump will reach a hundred -day mark on his second presidency. I found him a new series of opinion polls to distinguish that moment with the slightest categories of approval for decades of a leader at this stage of his term, even from the place where Trump stands with the public eight years ago. Is this because what Trump is doing is not very popular, whether it blows the global economy or reduce cancer research? certainly. But do not reduce the chaos factor, too. It is time for the greatest deals makers in all ages to put it or silence it. ♦
