Trumpers now own most of the media and they keep adding more (CNN may soon be under their control) so it's unlikely this will be happening, or covered in the new media if it did.
 
SO glad the Brits debased themself with the state visit to come away with the same deal anyone who works with Trump gets



The U.S. has halted a technology trade deal with the U.K., after officials in Washington became frustrated with the pace of progress, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.

Announced in September during President Donald Trump’s state visit to the U.K., the “technology prosperity deal” is a sweeping agreement aimed at encouraging collaboration between the countries on tech like artificial intelligence, nuclear fusion, and quantum computing.




At the time, Trump said that the deal would “ensure our countries lead the next great technological revolution side by side.” U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the agreement was a “generational step change in our relationship with the U.S.” that would deliver “growth, security and opportunity up and down the country.”

Talks were suspended by the U.S. last week, the FT reported, quoting unnamed British officials.

...

It came as the U.K. signed deals totalling £31 billion ($41 billion) with U.S. tech firms like Microsoft, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI, and CoreWeave to build out the country’s AI infrastructure. The U.S. is the U.K.’s largest trading partner.
 

U.S. trade officials are signalling that Canada will need to make policy changes if it wants long-term certainty under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), as the trade deal comes up for mandatory review next year.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told members of U.S. Congress Thursday that, while the trade deal has delivered benefits for American exporters, Washington is not prepared to automatically extend it for another 16 years without addressing “specific and structural issues.”
 
One of Kentucky’s largest bourbon producers apparently is pausing whiskey production at the end of the year. Jim Beam, which is one of the largest makers of American whiskey in the world, is planning to shut down production in Happy Hollow in Clermont on Jan. 1 through 2026.

...

The Clermont distillery is the main production facility in Kentucky, making the flagship brand as well as Basil Hayden, Knob Creek and others. It’s operated by Suntory Global Spirits, whose Japanese parent company Suntory also owns Maker’s Mark. Distilling at Maker’s Mark is not affected, according to a Suntory spokesperson. As of 2024, Jim Beam had nearly 1,500 Kentucky employees, according to the company. Suntory, which bought Jim Beam in 2014, says it has invested more than $540 million in its Kentucky facilities and that more than 100,000 people visit the James B. Beam Distilling Co. and Maker’s Mark every year.

Is this one of the good tariffs that our board MAGAs support?
I read recently they are good with “some tariffs,” which might read as just a convenient way to avoid being critical of Trump. But I will take them at their word.
However, nobody has been very specific about what tariffs they do and don’t support.
Is the one killing the bourbon business a good tariff or a bad one?

I think in this case it is the tariffs Trump has put on goods from other countries, and then the other countries refusing to import American alcohol as reprisal. So it is much more consequences of our actions, then hamstringing our own production via punishing prices on raw materials.

“China announced on Monday tariff adjustments for some products beginning next year, including lowering the import duties on resource-based commodities such as recycled black powder for lithium-ion batteries.

The country will also lower levies on medical products including artificial blood vessels and diagnostic kits for certain infectious disease, according to a statement by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council….”
