Is there a timeframe for any of this? No?
Is it unconditional? No?
What then is the basis for the idea Trump has chickened out?

There is a timeframe for all this.

90 days.

And Trump has wasted almost a third ofthem.

Again, with no clear objective and no plan

You have trouble with Trump being weak before Putin and Xi?

There is a timeframe for all this.
90 days.

According to whom?

Only to those who choose to not see.

US President Donald Trump has signaled a potential U-turn on his trade war with China amid continued market volatility, saying the high tariffs on Chinese goods will “come down substantially, but it won’t be zero.”

Trump’s remarks, made at a White House news event Tuesday, appear to mark a rhetorical climbdown after weeks of tough posturing and tit-for-tat retaliation that sent tariffs on China beyond a staggering 145%.

“145% is very high and it won’t be that high,” Trump said in a question-and-answer session with reporters in the Oval Office. “It won’t be anywhere near that high. It’ll come down substantially. But it won’t be zero.”

I put a question mark to the title because Trump is erratic. What he says today may not be what he says tomorrow.

I for one support a cool down on this inane Trade War.

I don’t consider it “chickening out” if you change your name for the good of all.

Trump acted on instinct when imposing these tariffs and had no real plan or end game.

Well if one thing is true at this point, Trump takes us to the brink of disaster, then pulls us back, only to do it again and again.

Trump’s actions have already taken a heavy toll on the reputation and standing of the USA around the world.


It is a game he plays that may one day add very badly.

Cowards will be Cowards.

Trump is caving BUT will claim that China is 'begging' for a deal.

Trump is caving ....

Quantify this.

Quantify this.

Who made the first suggestion about lowering the China tariffs?

Trump has always been willing to lower tariffs on China -- that's the endgame.
The entire article is set in the context of trade negotiations, especially with China -
Where does your source say this possible action is unilateral? That it is independent of Chinese actions?
Oh. It doesn't.
So much for "caving".

Your - specific and collective - desperation to see Trump's "trade war" end in failure is fracking hilarious.
