I called sarah and asked her for a statement on what the phrase "pre liberation day baseline" means. It's a VM. I wonder if I'll get a call back.

From WIkipedia: [President] Trump announced that he would unveil the reciprocal tariffs on April 2, 2025, a date he referred to as "Liberation Day".

This is why you outsource PR.

Don't be too happy, yet. These announced tariffs are nothing more than announcements. Nothing is written or signed, yet.

In addition there are contrary announcements from both parties already.

Last but not least there is a very complex ratification process within the EU which has to be passed. Just Mrs. von der Leyen sitting there shaking hands is not even half the deal.

One announcement for example was that the EU should import gas worth $750 bio. over three years. Nice. The maximum export value of gas from the US is worth $116 bio. Is $750 bio. a realistic value? Do not forget, that the import of gas is done by private companies, not by states/countries. If that will happen, private companies have to have that money.

Regardin Lynn Calders statement...IMHO we're far away from a plannable, stable situation.

And Trump could decide at any time the agreement is no longer valid and increase the tariff. No agreement with this administration should ever be considered binding.

She just agreeing to shit knowing it kicks the can down road, agreeing to 30% temporarily so it’s off the table. Trump just wants to say he made a deal. Accuracy, data, or truth, not only don’t mater, but are resented.
