Trump delays tariffs as the rest of the world plays hardball (www.bbc.com)

Donald Trump's White House had grandly promised "90 deals in 90 days" after partially pausing the process of levying what the US president called "reciprocal" tariffs.

In reality, there won't even be nine deals done by the time we reach Trump's first cut-off date on 9 July.

The revealing thing here, the poker "tell" if you like, is the extension of the deadline from Wednesday until 1 August, with a possibility of further extensions - or delays - to come.

This dude can't even stand up to other country's saying no and he's supposed to be the grand fascist leader??

This really is a pathetic ideology.
