Hassett: The UK trade deal is the framework for future deals

  • I’ve been briefed on about 24 other deals that are close
  • Markets will see that the new rules aren’t horribly disruptive
  • Everything that’s been going on in Switzerland is positive for us, we’re seeing respect on both sides
  • The UK model is the one everyone is shooting for
  • I think you’re going to see a lot more deals like the UK deal in the coming weeks
  • Trump insists on ‘no tax on tips’ and ‘no tax on overtime’ and ‘interest-free auto loans’
