Trust Issues? I Know a Thing or Two...
Hey dolls! So I heard about this whole drama between Europe and the U.S. with like tariffs and stuff. Apparently Trump's being a little… intense throwing tariffs around like they're free lip kits (which BTW they're totally not!). But Joerg Kukies who's like the acting German finance minister (fancy!) is saying not to freak out. He told CNBC that the trust between Europe and the U.S. hasn't totally like broken yet. He's all 'a lot more would have to happen' because the relationship is like decades old. I mean I get it. Some relationships are worth fighting for even if someone’s being extra.
Negotiation Mode: Is That a New Filter?
Kukies is saying that everyone's going into 'negotiation mode.' Sounds like a new Instagram filter right? Seriously though he's optimistic they can work things out. He even wants a 'zero for zero tariff agreement.' Like everyone gets along and no one has to pay extra! Why can’t everything be that simple? Imagine if contouring was tariff free! Ugh a girl can dream.
Trump Says No? That's Not Very 'Ky Lie' of Him...
But here's the tea: Trump already said NO to a deal where there would be zero tariffs on industrial goods. I mean come on! Can't we all just get along? It's giving me major 'Rise and Shine' vibes from Stormi: sweet innocent and just wanting everyone to be happy. But like in business. Anyway Germany is currently dealing with 10% tariffs. Poor Germany! And according to Robert Habeck the economy minister (another fancy title!) Trump's trade policies are the main reason for the downward revision.
Germany's Economic Struggle? I Feel You!
Okay so Germany's economy is like struggling. They're expecting stagnation. Stagnation? I can't even imagine! My life is all about growth innovation and new lip shades. But hey I get it. Sometimes things are tough. Remember when my lip kits got like mixed reviews? I had to like totally revamp everything! And I did. #KylieCosmetics #SuccessStory
Debt Brake Drama? Sounds Painful!
Germany has something called a 'debt brake' that limits how much debt the government can take on. Sounds painful! Like when I accidentally over line my lips and have to start all over. It's restrictive and annoying. But they made changes to it so they can spend more on defense and infrastructure. Maybe they'll build a giant Kylie Cosmetics factory! I can only dream...
The Takeaway? Just Keep Negotiating Dolls!
So the bottom line is even though things are kinda messy right now everyone's talking trying to find a solution. And that's what matters right? Just keep negotiating keep communicating and keep contouring! And if all else fails just remember: you can always count on a good lip kit to make you feel better. XOXO Kylie.
