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 9 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.

      I’d laugh if all 9 were to just reverse on that. Why shouldn’t they?

      Taco is not to be trusted and constantly reverses himself…why is everyone else expected to be playing fair, while he gets to do whatever the hell he wants?
