1. So says orange. I want to hear from the EU.

[KPN]

3. Guessing it will go same route as Japan dea,

i.e., way premature, nothing in writing/signed.

[WarGamer]

2. And the market will fly to new ATH on Monday....

The rich get richer

[Melon]

5. 62% of all adults have 401k, Roth, something in the market.

I think most of us especially over 40 care about the market performance. And we ain’t all rich.

[WarGamer]

7. Trust me... I Know, not only am I one of them but I'm also a daily options trader.

And while we all appreciate the increase in value... the rich are particularly happy.

Their increases equate to yachts and Villas.

[Melon]

13. Well...I was wrong on the stock market

For the millionth time. This is why I don’t have yachts and villas!

6. The meat in the taco deal

Under the agreement, the US will levy a 15% baseline tariff for most EU exports to the US, limiting a higher border tax charge on EU goods sold to the US market. However, the tax rate is higher than before Trump came to power, and a 50% tariff remains on steel exports; a set back for that industry.

Pharmaceuticals and semi-conductors are also excluded and could yet face punitive tariffs.

8. What autos does the EU even want from the US?

We build zero vehicles they want in any decent amount

[Takket]

9. the media is so corrupt and stupid......

they've forgotten to point out that a 15% tax Americans have to pay on all goods from the EU is a disaster for inflation and our economy.

its funny because we used to have free trade and drumpf like like "one trillion % tariff" and we settle on 15% import tariffs and the media is like "we have a deal! Wow 15 down from one trillion sounds great!!!!!!!!!"

yeah, we have a BAD DEAL. A GOOD DEAL is the USA not having to pay a 15% tax on everything!!!!!!!!!!

[Melon]

10. There was no free trade. When we export to the EU

We had to pay a VAT import duty which is a percentage tax on goods. Our business had to pay at EU customs for raw materials and I think it’s 20% of declared value.

[William Gustafson]

11. This is all meaningless until the congress ratifies this new deal....

It has to go through congress to become a law. Otherwise, it's just words on paper.
Thats when we find out what the actual deal is.... but for now, it's all hype.

[RoeVWade]

12. Well, there's this

Trump’s trade deals are illegal, Piper Sandler warns, predicting a Supreme Court smackdown by June 2026. Piper Sandler flatly declares in a new research note. The investment bank analyzed ongoing court battles and legislative authority, and concluded that Trump’s reliance on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose wide-ranging tariffs and cut bilateral deals far exceeds the powers granted by Congress.



iF the Supreme Court rules against Trump, all trade deals and announced tariff changes made under the IEEPA—including minimum 10% import rates and threatened reciprocal tariffs—would be declared instantly illegal. Refunds could flow to companies and individuals who have paid unlawfully imposed tariffs, if they file claims with the CIT.

The massive, headline-grabbing $550 billion Japanese investment pledge is cited by Piper Sandler as an example of economic promises lacking clarity, specifics, or legal durability.
