How the rest of the world will suffer from Trump’s first trade victory with the UK
The White House on Thursday announced Trump’s first official trade agreement with the United Kingdom, calling it “comprehensive,” but the rest of the world won’t be celebrating.
The deal does not reduce the overall 10% tariff rate that Trump imposed back in April. Nothing has really changed—except a few favors carved out for luxury cars and airplane parts.
According to CNN’s full breakdown of the announcement, this deal is already being treated as a win by Wall Street and the administration, even though it leaves global supply chains frozen and American businesses stranded.
Trump’s team declared the agreement a “very big and exciting day.” They held a press event in the Oval Office, where UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined in over speakerphone. Keir wasn’t even in Washington.
Trump had called him at the last minute, what the British ambassador described as “a very typical, 11th-hour intervention.” The British side said the arrangement was “historic,” although Keir’s tone was so flat it might as well have been automated.
Even so, the UK agreed to it—because, as Keir put it, “The question you should be asking is: Is it better than where we were yesterday?”
Under this new agreement, the US will not increase its baseline 10% tariff on British imports. That rate stays exactly where it was on April 2. The only real changes are some custom adjustments for UK industries.
British luxury cars, including Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, and Bentley, were going to be taxed at 27.5%, but now they’ll only face 10%. These changes do not apply to other consumer goods.
British aerospace companies can now send aircraft parts to the US without paying any tariffs. In return, British Airways is expected to purchase 30 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, a detail confirmed by Bloomberg. On steel and aluminum, both sides agreed to scrap taxes completely, though no quantities or enforcement mechanisms were announced.
In agriculture, both countries granted each other tariff-free exports on beef and other unnamed farm products. However, no timelines or export limits were disclosed. The officials from both countries made it clear: the details of the so-called “comprehensive” agreement are still being negotiated.
Chief economist at RSM, Joe Brusuelas, responded on social media, “A trade agreement where the details are still being negotiated is not an agreement. This does not provide the clarity necessary to lift the fog of uncertainty created by a trade war of choice.”
Despite this, US markets rallied. Investors reacted to the White House’s tone, interpreting it as a sign that Trump might slow down the economic destruction his tariffs have caused. But there’s no sign of real change. The US-UK trade relationship only represents 3% of total US trade. That’s a sliver compared to the China trade freeze, which still hasn’t moved an inch since Trump imposed 145% tariffs on most imports.
On the same day, the UK deal was announced, Justin Wolfers, an economics professor at the University of Michigan, reminded the public that the rest of the world is still stuck behind Trump’s wall.
“Overwhelmingly, the most important fact about today’s trade deal is that the 10% across-the-board tariffs are staying,” Justin said online. “Tiny tweaks here and there with some trading partners won’t change that. The US is a high tariff country for the foreseeable future, and the trade war continues.”
Before Trump returned to office, the average effective tariff rate was 2.5%. It’s now 22%, the highest in over a century. Thursday’s deal does not change that. It just puts a few extra Bentleys on American roads and some Dreamliners in the air.
Even the White House knows the rest of the global trade grid is in worse shape. The US and China are set to meet this weekend in Geneva, but there’s no optimism. The best Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could say was he’s hoping for “de-escalation.”
So while Trump calls this a “very big and exciting day,” global exporters, manufacturers, and crypto-linked trade ecosystems are still jammed. This “deal” is a receipt, not a product. And the rest of the world is stuck waiting for real terms that may never come.

US Treasury launches investigation into Benchmark Capital’s ties to Chinese firm Manus AI
According to reports, the US Treasury Department is looking into a $75 million investment by Benchmark Capital in the Chinese company Manus AI. This now escalates the tech rivalry between the US and China and the desire of the US to maintain its position at the forefront.
Officials from the department recently asked the Silicon Valley company if the funding is covered by new rules that limit investments in AI and other important technologies going to China.
The law, which is based on the Outbound Investment Security Program, was part of an order made by President Joe Biden in 2023. However, it didn’t become law until earlier this year.
It dictates that anyone or any organization in the US has to tell the Treasury Department about any investments they make in key areas like AI that could “accelerate and increase the success of the development of sensitive technologies” that are not in the US’s best interests.
In March, Manus released a great demo movie called “Second DeepSeek Moment.” The company showed that its AI agent could do difficult tasks by itself, such as long study projects and making websites and apps independently.
OpenAI’s CEO, on the other hand, is urging US lawmakers not to make rules that will slow down the US AI.
A number of US law companies told Benchmark that the investment did not violate the rules on outbound investments since Manus was not creating its own AI models.
Its lawyers also came to the conclusion that the company is not actually based in China. A person familiar with the situation says that the company’s parent Butterfly Effect is based in the Cayman Islands and has workers in the US, Singapore, Japan, and China. The person said that Manus saves all of its data on cloud servers run by Western companies that are not in China.
Still, some Silicon Valley investors don’t like the investment in Manus. For example, Josh Wolfe, co-founder of Lux Capital, wrote on X that the investment “makes zero sense.”
Delian Asparouhov, a partner at Founders Fund, also said , “I am not saying Benchmark partners are Chinese assets[…]But they are def assets to China.”
On the other hand, when Microsoft President Brad Smith was asked if Benchmark’s investment in Manus was in the US national interest.
One of the best-known venture investors in the business, Bill Gurley, is a general partner at Benchmark. He has spoken out against efforts to cut ties with China
According to him, “Our nation’s recent curbs on Nvidia H20s, intended to slow China AI innovation, will enhance & accelerate Chinese AI innovation. This action will create the OPPOSITE of the intent.”
However, many people are afraid that Chinese technology could give Beijing an easy way to get information. And there are new claims that Chinese students at Stanford, especially those studying AI, are being forced to work as spies for China. This is happening in the middle of Silicon Valley.
According to reports, even startups that have widely used DeepSeek’s open-source AI models are using technology that might have unknown security holes that could help China. To ensure that even more dollars don’t get through the cracks in the rules, the Trump administration is considering putting even more limits on investments going to China.
Benchmark is known for carefully choosing which startups to invest in and is one of Silicon Valley’s most successful venture capital firms. It gave companies like eBay, Twitter, Uber, and Snap their first investments.

Analysts have mixed opinions on Coinbase's acquisition of Deribit: Derivatives expansion is optimistic, but retail growth is questionable
Coinbase chose to reveal the news of its acquisition of Deribit to the market before the U.S. stock market closed and released its financial report on Thursday. Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer pointed out that as more institutions adopt cryptocurrencies, the acquisition of Deribit will allow Coinbase to "immediately dominate the fast-growing derivatives field." Oppenheimer analyst Owen Lau believes that this move will make Coinbase a "strong challenger" to Binance, Bybit and OKX in the field of derivatives, and emphasizes that "cryptocurrency options are less cyclical and have stable demand regardless of whether the market is rising or falling." However, Compass Point analysts Ed Engel and Joe Flynn pointed out that Deribit mainly serves institutional clients and does not help increase Coinbase's retail-dominated perpetual contract trading volume. The two analysts downgraded Coinbase's rating to sell last week and reiterated that its U.S. retail trading market has become saturated. Michael Klena of Architect Partners believes that this acquisition will not fundamentally change its assessment of Coinbase (target price of $170). After all, it is just an extension of existing business and cannot reduce the impact of cryptocurrency market volatility on quarterly performance.
