This was an issue today with auto tariffs--FT report said exceptions planned, WH declines to comment, but then Trump says no when asked. Big difference vs his first term, especially on trade policy: we're seeing *way* more daylight between "Trump" and "the Trump administration".

Jordan Weissmann @JHWeissmann

One issue with these kinds of reports is that, when they say "the administration is considering," it's totally unclear whether that group of people includes Donald Trump.

In the 3 weeks since the tariffs took effect, ocean container bookings from China to the United States are down over 60% industry wide. 🧵

I love love love that they couldn’t figure out how to make the expensive art-stealing gif generator produce a two-second clip of “baby gets sucked out of airplane by sudden depressurization,” so they just had to make a sad lady huck it through a hole in the side of the cabin.

Bessent has said there are no talks happening with China. Nor is there any urgency for Beijing, since tariffs on Chinese exports have already hit--the damage is done. In the absence of actual negotiations, this sort of comment from Trump smacks of trying to buy time with markets.

Scott Kennedy @KennedyCSIS

“Trump also said he expected that US tariffs on goods from China would eventually come down ‘substantially,’ but cautioned they wouldn’t be lowered to 0.” Is Trump negotiating in public, revealing dvlpts of secret negotiations, or trying to calm markets? https://t.co/ijfgoUrQoV

They’re be a slog if they were even happening, in an absolute best case scenario. Too bad they aren’t.
