Was Trump Lying about Trade Negotiations with China?

[berg80]

And you believe some random Korean website because?

It seems the unavoidable, unfortunate conclusion we must come to, given what we know to be true, is trump (and Bessent) is lying and China is not. What a revolting development.

Apparently not. According to South Korean reporter Kang Tae-hwa, a Chinese trade delegation was spotted on April 24th (several days ago) entering the Treasury building next to the White House, not long after Trump commented he had discussed trade "many times" with Chinese President Xi Jinping. China demanded that any photos be deleted from smartphones of reporters. China, at least to the public, has repeatedly denied any discussions taking place between Beijing and the Trump Administration.

"It was confirmed on the 24th (local time) that the United States and China have begun behind-the-scenes contacts in relation to the 'tariff war' waged by US President Donald Trump.

When asked the day before whether he was in direct contact with China, President Trump answered, “We are in direct contact with China every day,” but did not mention specific communication channels with China. He also hinted at the possibility of lowering tariffs on China, which stand at 145%, and said that an agreement could be reached “within two to three weeks.”

외교 소식통은 중앙일보에 "미·중 양국의 재무부 채널이 실제로 가동되고 있다는 점은 양국 모두가 현재의 보복성 관세로 인한 국내외적 압박이 임계점에 이르렀다는 점이 확인된 의미"라며 "양측의 물밑 협상 결과에 관세 전쟁의 중대한 전환점이 될 수 있다"고 전망했다. 그러면서 "이번 관세 전쟁이 양국 정상들이 직접 등판한 자존심 싸움 양상으로 진행되고 있기 때문에 일종의 ‘윈윈 구조’를 만들기가 쉽지 않을 수 있다"며 "중국 측이 이날 미국 재무부로 직접 찾아간 사실 자체가 중국의 입장에선 극도로 민감한 사안이 될 수 있다"고...

I'll tell you who is lying, the usual lefty media. They don't realize it but even they have been reporting that China is making trade deals with the US and dropping tariffs. If China has the leg up on Trump in the tariff war and calling Trump's bluff then why are they doing that?

How can they both be lying if one is saying they are in talks and the other says they are not? Youre fuckin stupid.

Sometimes it's not what they say but what they aren't saying. Like, notice no one is taking about the trade talks in London? How are they going?

Instead it's all about California. Cali is just a distraction. So is Elon and Trump's fake fight to save Elon's image with his former customers who won't buy from him anymore. He had to make up a fake fight and accuse Trump of being in the Epstein Files.

These are distractions from the trade talks. How are they going? What have we won so far?

Look how stupid Trump is

“I’ve known this guy for a long time. He was never the sharpest bulb,” Trump, 78, said of Biden, confusing the idioms “not the sharpest tool in the shed” and “not the brightest bulb” to indicate that someone is lacking intelligence.

I think it's Trump who's not the sharpest bulb.
