Trump's Ambitious Trade Blitz: 90 Deals in 90 Days

President Donald Trump's administration has embarked on an ambitious mission to finalize 90 trade agreements within 90 days. This bold initiative follows a temporary pause on implementing higher tariffs, aimed at giving countries time to negotiate bilateral arrangements. However, experts are skeptical about the feasibility of this plan, citing logistical challenges and strategic inconsistencies.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a key figure in the negotiations, will be in Buenos Aires supporting Argentina's economic reforms instead of leading talks in Washington. This raises concerns about the administration's ability to manage simultaneous negotiations effectively. Wendy Cutler, a former U.S. Trade Representative negotiator, expressed doubts, stating that comprehensive agreements within this timeframe are unlikely.

Despite skepticism, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro remains optimistic, asserting that the team is equipped to meet the ambitious target. Trump himself is expected to oversee every deal, ensuring they align with his vision. The administration hopes to instill confidence in financial markets and trading partners, but the pressure for quick wins is immense.

As the countdown begins, the world watches to see if Trump's trade team can turn this ambitious goal into reality. Will this be a masterstroke or a misstep in global trade diplomacy? Time will tell.
