Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented that they are getting such wonderful proposals on trade from other countries that he wonders how previous administrations allowed this to happen to the American people.

The discussion in six points:
#1 Strategic uncertainty is a negotiation tool. Bessent made it clear: if we show all our trade cards too early, foreign governments will game the system. Unpredictability gives America leverage, and it’s working.
#2 Trump-era debt came during the rescue. Biden’s came during recovery. Timing matters.

#6 Moody’s is reacting late. We didn’t get here in 100 days; Biden handed off a mess.
America has leverage again.
