Toasty Trade Winds?
Foolish mortals! News reaches even the Netherrealm that Britain might be the first to kowtow... er *sign* a trade deal with the United States after those puffed up pronouncements about tariffs. Apparently Trump in his infinite (and often baffling) wisdom hinted at a briefing but details? Gone like Sub Zero after I unleash hellfire! 'Get Over Here!' would be more fitting if I were directing this… negotiation. Though I suspect the details are as pleasant as a kiss from Mileena.
White House Silence: A Shroud of Secrets?
The White House and the British Embassy are tighter lipped than Quan Chi before a soul steal. CNBC couldn't get a peep out of them. This silence is deafening almost as deafening as the screams of my enemies. A U.K. government flack said something about 'indispensable allies' and 'ongoing talks,' the usual drivel. They claim to be taking a 'calm and steady approach.' Well good luck with that I prefer a flaming skull and chains myself.
Deal or No Deal? Finish Them!
Is this a finalized deal or just some flimsy framework? The New York Times couldn't even get a straight answer! It's like trying to pin down Smoke only less...smoky. Britain has a trade deficit with the U.S. so they were only hit with a 10% levy. Sounds fair right? WRONG.
Vance's Chance: A Glimmer of Hope?
That Vice President Vance fellow seems optimistic saying the UK has a 'good chance' of securing a deal. He believes it would be in the 'best interest of both countries.' How cute. Everyone's best interest is to avoid my wrath but this... This is tolerable for now!
Trump's Tirade: A Merciless Barrage?
Then Trump in a move that surprised absolutely no one contradicted his own White House. He proclaimed the U.S. doesn't need to 'sign deals,' because everyone wants a piece of their market. 'They have to sign deals with us' he claims. Sounds like he is a man of many words and no plan. I have no such weakness.
The Final Verdict: Flawless Victory? Doubtful.
Will this trade deal actually happen? Maybe. Will it be beneficial for everyone? Unlikely. But one thing is certain: if either side tries to betray the other they'll face a fate far worse than any tariff. They'll face... *MY WRATH!* Now if you'll excuse me I have some souls to collect. GET OVER HERE and read this again if you dare!

Hopefully, this doesn't lead to another Outworld invasion.

This is just politics as usual. Nothing to see here, move along.
