Like Literally Obsessed with This News!
Okay dolls let's be real. You know I'm all about that international hustle. And when I heard about the U.S. and the U.K. possibly striking a trade deal? I was like 'This is my aesthetic!' JD Vance honey spilling the tea that a deal with Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government is on the table? Groundbreaking. And can we talk about how Trump 'really loves the United Kingdom?' It's giving major 'momager' vibes making sure everyone's deals are on point. As I always say 'Get your hustle on!' And it looks like the UK is about to do just that. This is gonna be so fetch if it happens!
Is That a Tariff? I Don't Know Her!
So apparently the U.K. dodged some of Trump's tariff drama back in the day. A 10% duty? That's practically a discount compared to what the EU was facing. I'm just saying good for them! And now with talks of a new deal it's like they're upgrading their status from 'friends with benefits' to 'exclusive relationship' with the U.S. Trade wise of course! I'm all about positive vibes and a balanced trading relationship? That's the kind of energy I need in my life! Remember 'You have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else.' Same goes for countries right?
Tea Time with Trump and the Royals?!
Okay the article mentioned Trump enjoying a state visit to the U.K. guesting with the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Keir Starmer hand delivered another invitation from King Charles inviting Trump for a second state visit?! I can only imagine the outfits! And the photo ops! A state visit? That's iconic! Clearly Trump's got a soft spot for a good royal moment. Maybe he watched too much 'The Crown' (who hasn't?). Either way if this trade deal goes through it'll be like the ultimate collab. Royal stamp of approval? Check! Trump's deal making magic? Check! Just add some contour and a killer Instagram filter and you've got yourself a masterpiece! "It’s a full time job being me."
Europe Honey Let's Talk About Fairness
Now things get a little spicier when we talk about the rest of Europe. Apparently Trump wasn't too thrilled with the EU's 'large trade surplus.' It's like when someone shows up to a party wearing the same dress as you but they look better in it. Not cute! Trump slapped a 20% tariff on EU imports which caused all kinds of drama. But like JD Vance is saying the U.S. wants 'fairness.' That's a word I can get behind! Everyone deserves a chance to shine and if that means leveling the playing field I'm here for it. After all 'I’m not buying ugly shoes or clothes.' And I'm definitely not buying unfair trade practices!
Vance's 'Love' for Europe: Fact or Fiction?!
Okay this is where it gets a little confusing. Vance apparently said he hated the idea of 'bailing Europe out' for defense but then he's like 'I love Europe!' It's giving mixed signals like when a guy says he's not ready for a relationship but keeps texting you goodnight. Make it make sense! But hey even I change my mind sometimes. One minute I'm craving a salad the next I'm ordering a pizza. The important thing is that Vance says the U.S. sees Europe as an ally. That's a good start. Now let's all just get along and make some money honey!
Can We All Just Be Friends...and Trade Partners?!
Ultimately it sounds like the U.S. is trying to renegotiate the terms of their international relationships. They want Europe to be more 'independent' when it comes to security and defense spending. It's like telling your little sister she needs to start paying her own phone bill. Tough love but necessary! And with the U.K. potentially scoring a major trade deal it's a reminder that sometimes you have to hustle to get what you want. So let's all manifest a world of fair trade good vibes and amazing outfits. Because let's be real 'I love when people underestimate me and then I prove them wrong.'
