In the playoffs against 193 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: the Knicks at Fenway. Red Sox beeat Colorado nine to three, 194 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: Toronto one again eight to four over the White Sox. 195 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: That's nine wins in a row.

President Donald Trump is putting a handful 211 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: of countries on notice that they've got about three more 212 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: weeks to reach deals or face higher teriff rates around 213 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: the level of the April second announcement. But the President 214 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 2: is suggesting he may still be open to negotiation around 215 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 2: the new August first deadline. 216 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 4: I would say firm, but not one hundred percent firm. 217 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: If they call up and they say would like to 218 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 4: do something a different way, We're going to be open 219 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: to that. 220 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: And that was the President speaking at a White House 221 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: dinner last night. For more were joined by Bloomberg's Jill 222 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: Deesis in Hong Kong. So, Jill, we've gotten a chance 223 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: to digest these tariff letters more than a dozen sent 224 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: out yesterday, a lot of focus on Japan and South 225 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: Korea in particular. How are those nations taking this sort 226 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: of reprieve when it comes to the April second tariffs? 227 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 12: Good morning, Yes, good morning, Nathan. I think that's the 228 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 12: right way to think about it, honestly, is that it's 229 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 12: a bit of a reprieve. I mean, this is essentially 230 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 12: a delay and all. But name we were, you know, 231 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 12: the ninety day deadline coming up this week. Now you 232 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 12: not only have August first positioned as the deadline when 233 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 12: tariffs are going to effect, but then you've also got, 234 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 12: as we just heard from Trump himself there saying, you know, 235 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 12: that's not even necessarily one hundred percent. It does seem 236 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 12: like there's room to negotiate when it comes to Japan 237 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 12: in South Korea in particular. I think these have been 238 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 12: really really interesting countries to watch over the last several weeks, 239 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 12: Japan especially because there have been a lot of pretty 240 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 12: major sticking points with that country. A lot of this 241 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 12: does come down to automotive tariffs, so those tariffs on 242 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 12: cars and car parts. That's one thing that Trump has 243 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 12: kind of indicated that he's not willing to really compromise on. 244 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,119 Speaker 12: We did hear from the Japanese Prime Minister sugar Ushiba 245 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 12: earlier today, you know, talking about the fact that you 246 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 12: know that Japan is still really interested in trying to 247 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 12: reach a deal, although you know it has previously avoided 248 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 12: making what he called easy compromises. So you do get 249 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 12: the sense that while Tokyo is very interested in trying 250 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 12: to move something further, it's not necessarily clear what exactly 251 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 12: that is going to look like, although obviously yes, they 252 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 12: do have some time bought. I think, you know, South Korea, 253 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 12: you know, we have seen some optimism there. Certainly it 254 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 12: does seem like Soul is interested in moving forward with something. 255 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 12: But again, I think really the big takeaway here is 256 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 12: that it doesn't really feel like we're under this extreme 257 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 12: immediate time pressure here. Maybe there is some time for 258 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 12: these nations to hash out for their talks with Washington, But. 259 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: I guess the question is whether three more weeks is 260 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: enough time, given the fact that we've had more than 261 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: three months up to now. 262 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 12: Well, I mean, I would also argue, first of all, 263 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 12: that ninety days is certainly an incredibly ambitious timescale by 264 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 12: which to negotiate any trade deal. Let alone you know, 265 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 12: up to you know, dozens upon dozens of trade deals 266 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 12: with countries all over the world. I think that one 267 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 12: way to think about this, quite frankly, is when you've 268 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 12: got Trump saying that not, you know, not even that 269 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 12: three weeks out that August first deadline is necessarily a 270 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 12: one hundred percent done firm commitment. That does indicate that, 271 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 12: you know, maybe maybe the White House is sitting here 272 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 12: thinking like, yeah, I mean, you know, some of these 273 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 12: things actually do take time. And it would also point 274 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 12: out that even if you do get something that's in 275 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 12: the vein of like a preliminary deal, I look at, 276 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 12: you know, for example, what happened with the United Kingdom 277 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 12: a few weeks ago, that doesn't necessarily mean that that 278 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 12: resolves all of the trade issues. I mean, first of all, 279 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 12: remember that this is a really complicated system that the 280 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 12: washing the White House is really drawn up here, right. 281 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 12: I Mean, you've got what it calls these reciprocal tariffs, 282 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 12: the Liberation Day tariffs. That was the deadline that's now 283 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 12: been pushed off to August first. But then you've also 284 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 12: got all of these sectoral tariffs. In the case of 285 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 12: the United Kingdom, you know, maybe they reached a deal 286 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 12: with the Trump administration on some things, but there's still 287 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 12: this big overhang in the form of those sectoral steel tariffs, 288 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 12: for example, that is still something that needs to be 289 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 12: hashed out. So I would argue that even if you 290 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 12: do have something that they're able to work out over 291 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 12: the next few weeks, you know, as you mentioned, that's 292 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 12: still kind of a tall task. You've still got some 293 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 12: many things in the way of you know, potential additional 294 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 12: sectoral tariffs. Remember, the US Commerce Department is investigating whether 295 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 12: there's more that they I want to implement in those 296 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 12: types of tariffs. I will remind you, are I think 297 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 12: going to be quite a bit harder to challenge in 298 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 12: the United States than say, you know, Trump's executive order 299 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 12: tariffs would be. So, you know, I realized I'm talking 300 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 12: very quickly and I'm saying a lot, but I think 301 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 12: this is all just to say, this is still a 302 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 12: very wonky, you know, very very big process that needs 303 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 12: to unfold here. I wouldn't necessarily count on all of 304 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 12: this being wrapped up within the next three weeks. 305 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 2: In just thirty seconds. What about the issue of the 306 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: president wanting to open markets to US goods is that 307 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: something that Japan and South Korea are open to. 308 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 12: I mean, I think that again, really, when it comes 309 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 12: to Japan and South Korea, their biggest you know concerns 310 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 12: right now, I would argue, are really about the automotive 311 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 12: side of this. I mean, You've got some of the 312 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 12: world's biggest you know, automotive companies that are based in 313 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 12: Japan and South Korea, and so their sticking point with 314 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 12: the with the United States, I think remains trying to 315 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 12: figure out a way around some of those sectoral tariffs. Again, 316 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 12: I'm not really sure how much of that is actually 317 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 12: going to be entering into the conversation over the next 318 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 12: three weeks, because once again, those are somewhat different from 319 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 12: the reciprocal terrorists that Trump initially announced on these two countries. 320 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 12: But when I'm looking at them, that's really I think 321 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 12: where my area of focus remains. 322 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 323 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 324 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 325 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 326 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 327 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 3: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 328 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 329 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 330 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 3: XM Channel one twenty one. 331 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 6: Plus. 332 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app now 333 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 334 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
