距离7月9日，90天推迟对等关税的期限正好还有2个月，需要签署剩余这199个协议，时间紧任务重，那些企鹅岛贸易代表不知排上队了没有？

President Donald Trump has finally gotten his first trade deal done.
Well, not quite a “deal,” per se. More like a concept of a plan: a framework for negotiations between the United States and the United Kingdom that will take place between the two countries over the next several months or years … to hammer out a potential future trade agreement … that may or may not ultimately prove more beneficial to the United States than the existing trade situation.
But a win’s a win, and this is a big win for Trump. The agreement with the UK also gives other world leaders a reason to hope that other deals can rescue the global economy from the abyss, providing a framework for future negotiations.
Asked whether the deal is an improvement on the trading relationship of six months ago, before Trump took office, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer replied Thursday: “The question you should be asking is: Is it better than where we were yesterday?”
Undeniably, the answer is yes. Even if the details of the framework are sparse, tariffs on some UK goods will go down, and it could open up the market for some more US goods to enter the UK.
Now, the dealmaker-in-chief just needs to get more than a hundred more of these done before the clock runs out on July 8 – when punishing reciprocal tariffs as high as 50% on dozens of nations are set to go back into effect.
