31.07.2025 โข Trade Tariffs, Collusion Unveiled
โจ
US media coverage on July 31 centered on President Trump's evolving trade policies and new revelations regarding past political controversies. The day began with reports confirming his South Korea trade deal, a continuation from previous discussions, alongside the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates, defying presidential pressure. Early afternoon saw a shift to Trump's assertive foreign policy, with threats of trade repercussions for Canada if it recognized a Palestinian state, while his broader tariffs faced legal challenges in federal courts. By late afternoon, a key development emerged: Trump agreed to pause higher tariffs on Mexico for 90 days. Concurrently, declassified documents detailing Hillary Clinton's alleged plan to "smear" Trump with Russia collusion gained significant traction, becoming a prominent domestic political narrative. The day concluded with the impending general tariff deadline creating uncertainty for many trading partners.
