Part 5/10:
The speaker highlights what might be the best week of Trump’s second term, with significant diplomatic wins on the trade front. Notably, the US concluded a massive trade deal with Japan and an EU agreement, both regarded as substantial victories. The EU deal, in particular, was described as "stunning" and indicative of a series of wins that bolster US economic influence.
Despite some media mockery—such as criticism directed at Trump for supposedly going to Scotland for golf—these agreements show a robust diplomatic effectiveness. The host depicts this week as a moment where Trump’s foreign policy and trade prowess are on display, reinforcing his leadership position in international negotiations.
