Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Sunday that the public is going to love the deals that President Trump and I are doing as the administration promises forthcoming breakthroughs on tariffs.
Well, you heard in our polling some of the perceptions of the economy, CBS News Margaret Brennan told Lutnick on Face the Nation. Sixty-one percent of Americans believe the administration is putting too much focus on tariffs, 70 percent say the administration is not doing enough to lower prices and 60 percent oppose new tariffs on imported goods. This is a centerpiece to your policy plan. How do you reverse public opposition? she asked.
Oh, theyre going to love the deals that President Trump and I are doing. I mean, theyre just going to love them. You know, the president figured out the right answer, and sent letters to these countries, said this is going to fix the trade deficit, Lutnick responded.
This will go a long way to fixing the trade deficit, and thats gotten these countries to the table and theyre going to open their markets or theyre going to pay the tariff, he added. Trumps whiplash approach to threatening and imposing tariffs has at times rattled the markets.

(1,200 posts)Here is the current steak prices at Von's Supermarket in Los Angeles for a filet -- $25.99 a pound -- and it is only the "choice" cut grade of beef and not the "prime" cut grade of beef. They don't even sell the USDA "prime" cut grades of beef at Von's.
USDA Choice Beef Tenderloin Filet Mignon Steak - 1 Lb

Your Price $25.99 $25.99 price per ounce $25.99($25.99 / Lb)
USDA choice beef tenderloin steak filet mignon. 100% guaranteed.
At Bristol Farms, where they do sell USDA "Prime" cuts of meat -- a "Prime" cut of a New York steak is $40.69 for one pound.
Von's gets a whole lot of their beef from Canada. I used to see "Product of Canada" on the labeling of ground hamburger that I used to purchase from Von's. About +/- 10% of US beef is imported from Argentina and Brazil. I don't know what the percentages are from imports of Canadian beef products nor Mexican beef products but I'm sure that there is a lot of such imported beef in the border states connected to Mexico and Canada (economies of scale for shipping costs -- pre-Turd tariffs). Given the 30+% tariffis which the Turd has now imposed on Mexico, Canada, Argentina and Brazil (50%) -- beef prices in grocery stores in the US will continue to rise to staggering levels which will basically become unaffordable for lower class America and low middle class American families. Thanks again, Turd. Next time you buy a steak in the supermarket -- ask yourself if we are "great" again, America!
