Treasury minister takes the initiative as the two countries were a waiting list to make us a commercial deal

Scott Besent, optimistic to the US Treasury, walked on Tuesday, optimistic that the tensions between America and some of its allies following the declaration of a “liberation day” tariff will be reduced.

“I think you will see two big commercial partners who are doing deals very quickly,” he told reporters.

In the days before, and after President Donald Trump announced sharp Definitions In a large part of the world last week, the Treasury Secretary had been subjected to loud militants such as Peter Navarro, the White House Tsar trade, and Hardard Lootnick, Minister of Commerce.

But this week, BESSENT rushed to the battle as the president opened the door to negotiations with some allies in the face of brutal sale in the stocks that sparked a violent reaction from Wall Street to Capitol Hill.

Trump has appointed Bessent to lead the talks with Japan and South Korea, the first commercial partners in the United States in line with an agreement to reduce the fees, along with Jamieson Greer, the representative of the American Trade.

Meanwhile, Navarro, who was very skeptical of negotiations on definitions, was deported to side lines – at the present time – alongside Lutnick, which was the main axis of foreign trade officials. In recent days, two foreign officials said that the Minister of Commerce made it clear that he lacks the mandate from Trump to enter into trade talks with them.

The transformation of the influence in the Trump commercial team reflects the real president’s awareness that he must show that he is trying to stabilize the markets after the intelligence of criticism from all aspects of the political spectrum and many business leaders, was very breastfed by the damage that his definitions would lose to the economy and the financial sector.

During the first period of Trump, Bessin Mnuchin’s predecessor became one of the leading management of the administration, restricting the president’s protectionist instincts and often collided with Navarro.

He and Robert Lezer, then the American Trade Representative, led high risk negotiations with China, a formula that Trump now wants to return to it somehow to hold talks with other senior commercial partners.

A person familiar with the conversations said: “Bessent and Greer are more rehabilitative to negotiate, not a loss. They are rational traffic policemen to receive them, but they achieve acceptable and meaningful results.”

The most central role of Bessent – who spent time at the end of last week with Trump in Florida, where he returned to Washington – comes amid signs of increasing tensions inside the White House.

Elon Musk, the technology executive billionaire and White House advisor who said he wanted to see a wide trade deal with the European Union, launched an extraordinary attack on Navarro, describing him as “foolish” and “clumsy from a brick bag” for his suggestion that Tesla, his electric car company, instead of manufacturing – simply – its vehicles in America.

On Tuesday, White House press secretary Caroline Levit has sought to reduce the dispute. She said: “It is clear that these two people have completely different views on trade and definitions. Children will be children, and we will call them to compete for the public debate.”

But whether BESSENT can calm investors and negotiate agreements with a wide range of countries in the second Trump administration, which is more ideological and aggressive than unclear.

The former hedge fund manager in South Carolini adopted Trump’s justification for imposing customs tariffs in the first place, including his desire to reshape global trade until the American economy no longer depends on cheap imported goods, even if it was at a cost.

“One of them has always had a background, Bessent would be more thinking about trade. On the other hand, to join the administration, he had to participate in the program. He knew what he was involved in,” said Mark Sobil, a former treasury official in democratic and republican administrations.

On Tuesday, US stock prices fell again after openness, with skeptics that negotiations with some countries will be sufficient to overcome their fears of the global economy. A number of Wall Street have warned that measures may cause stagnation all over the world.

Navarro suggested that Trump’s conversion to talks with selective countries does not contradict his views. “The context is important. I said:” This is not negotiations … It is a state of national emergency … President Trump is always ready to listen. “We love what we heard.”

Meanwhile, Jarir told Congress that while more than 50 countries contacted him to search for talks to raise punitive definitions, negotiations could be lengthy and refused to set a schedule for any deals.

Critics accuse the Trump administration of its failure to explain the ultimate goal of launching such a wide trade war, and now an attempt to retract it – a contradiction that Bessant may not be able to solve.

“There is no clear message on how to determine the definitions, what they are supposed to accomplish, how long will they be in their place, whether they are a negotiating tool or a step to try to reduce the United States from global trade,” said Ron Wadeen, the supreme democracy of the Senate Finance Committee.

He added: “In the days when Donald Trump has passed away from the definitions, the president and his advisers have changed their stories over and over all these questions.”

Analysts say this uncertainty is supported by the fear that Trump can easily reversed the path again.

“We have the impression that what Trump says on any day may differ based on who is the last person to speak with him.” “So you may talk to Bessent recently, but he may talk to Navarro tomorrow.”
