United States and China officials have agreed to take steps to reduce the U.S. trade deficit

[Wry Catcher]

Worth repeating 1000 times, when America decides to lead and use it's leverage, economic and if needed in some cases Internationally, it's military Might, the world has to follow.

I didn't doubt for a second that if Trump negotiated from a position of strength, which America has over the Communist sob's in China; that he would win.

I repeat for effect, walk away from NAFTA, Canada is exploiting your jobs and using you to supplement their socialism, neo-communist, centralized, unaccountable security apparatus nepotism. Walk away from NAFTA and go with bilateral deals, and then build a wall, and Trump will go get a second term, AND, against all odds, go down as the president who saved America.

This AND North Korea potentially becoming denuclearized.

Get 'er done Trump! God Bless America!



US, China tentatively agree on ending American trade deficit: White House


The White House also said China would “significantly increase purchases” of U.S. goods and services to help America’s economic growth and to meet its own growing consumption needs, in an apparent effort to avoid an international trade war.

Among the primary focuses of the consensus: an agreement to expand trade in manufactured goods and services, increase U.S. agriculture and energy exports, and protect both countries’ intellectual property laws.

The White House also said next steps would include the U.S. sending a team to China to work out the details.

President Trump has since his 2016 presidential campaign vowed to improve international trade relationships, including the one with China that last year resulted in a $337 billion trade deficit with the country.

Trump on Friday called the deal "bad for our country” and said, “We're changing it around."

After the White House announcement, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested the agreement falls short on protecting America’s intellectual property.

“The key to a strong agreement is protecting our intellectual property here in America and stopping the Chinese from keeping out our best goods until we hand over our trade secrets,” said Schumer, D-N.Y. “The joint statement has nothing specific on those fronts.”

China recently appears to be sending signals about trying to avoid a trade war.

Beijing has dropped an anti-dumping investigation into imported U.S. sorghum, which it had accused the U.S. of unfairly subsidizing. It has also given approval for a U.S. private equity firm to buy Toshiba's memory chip business.

"China has come to trade," Larry Kudlow, the top White House economic adviser, told reporters. "They are meeting many of our demands. No deal yet, to be sure, and it's probably going to take a while -- it's a process."

It is nice that Trump is making a deal, to address the situation.

But China's words have zero credibility.


I will not consider it a firm win, until I see the Trade Deficit actually drop.

IF Trump can do this, he will go down as one of the Greatest Presidents this Nation has ever had.

LOL Nixon opened the door to China, and guess what happened to him.

They benefit from at least slowing the pace of outsourcing and loss of manufacturing jobs.


If the higher cost, and it might not be much higher, alternative is American, all the better as jobs could start INCREASING.


I have heard of local manufactures getting flooded with inquires from foreign businesses who were looking for US manufacturers to make their shit, to avoid potential tariffs.


Local manufactures looking at more work then they can handle.


JOBS. JOBS. JOBS.

So, based upon Trump's latest tweet on the subject, it seems most of our trade deficit with China will be offset by them buying more Ag products.

How does this help the industry you are so worried about?

How does this make our manufacturing sector more competitive with China and the rest of the world?

It does not. If this is all he gets, he has failed.

Then be ready to say he failed, all Trump cares about is reducing the number so he can say he did.

NOpe. You brought up Nixon, in the context of China, but have not explained any relevance.


Questioning the relevance is completely reasonable.
