🇺🇸 MAXIMUM TARIFFS, MINIMUM PATIENCE: U.S. TRADE TALKS TURN HARDLINE

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just threw down the gauntlet: negotiate “in good faith” or get hit with maximum tariffs — back to Trump’s April 2nd “Liberation Day” levels.

Some nations could face rates over 100%.

China temporarily de-escalated to 30%.

Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos are still staring down 45–49%.

Bessent’s expressing: no patience, no more posturing.

The U.S. sets the terms — take the deal or take the hit.
