So Trump is saying that the investment promises within the trade "deals" are "like a signing bonus in baseball", and that its "our money to invest as we like". (starting around 2:45).
Specifically mentions 550b from Japan and 650b from the EU that are his to spend.

So pauschal wie die USA die Zölle festgelegt haben frage ich mich dann doch, ob sich die offizielle Schweiz nicht zu früh "freut" in der Annahme, dass die Pharmabranche von den Zöllen ausgeschlossen sei.
Dass Trump sich für irgendwelche WTO-Abkommen interessiert wage ich zumindest zu bezweifeln.

Ich befürchte zudem, dass mithilfe des Sondervermögens Spielräume für Wahlgeschenke geschaffen werden: Union/SPD wollen Mütterrente ausweiten, Agrardiesel subventionieren und MwSt. in Gastronomie senken: All das schafft kein Wachstum, setzt falsche Anreize & ist Klientelpolitik.

Remarkable: Merz wants to discuss reforming debt brake in the *outgoing* Bundestag, where CDU/CSU+SPD+Greens still have over 2/3 of seats, before new Bundestag is constituted by 25 March. Greens already signalled willingness this morning.
