Trade deal made with China! (1 Viewer)

[Airyaman]

Not really a trade deal its a pause on tariffs for both sides

A pause on 145%. Still going to be 30%.

If thats true, why did China agree to terms?

You really need to ask?

Exercise a little common sense and you'll probably come up with the answer.

Covering for the orange turd is a bad look.

I don’t think there us agreement on terms just on the pause for both sides.

Yes, i think there was already a tariff before though

Cant answer the question?

Dont worry, I never expected you to.

There's no agreement. We're still at the negotiating phase where the only thing we know is the tariff fiasco is punted for 90 days or whatever while the talks continue. So yay! for reducing the silly tariffs placed at the start of all this?

They're calling it an agreement. The post meeting clips call it an agreement. stop pouting

But if China is mopping the floor with the US, why would they negotiate at all? Answer, they wouldnt. They are willing to negotiate because this is hurting them more than it is hurting us.

Yes, the libs are in a tough spot. They were really hoping for a major US loss here.

I'm not pouting, I'm calling it what it is which is an agreement to lower tariffs while they sort out the details. It's the details of the deal that are going to matter. Can you point to what both governments have signed off on and agreed to in terms of changes to current trade policy?

Tariffs hurt both countries. No one claims it doesn’t. That said we are hurt more. Has Trump figured out that Mattel is not a country?

Whatever you need to tell yourself so your traitorous support of the Orange King feels better.

Has he figured out he threatened to tariff a COMPANY or has tariffed uninhabited islands yet?

China has a trade surplus with us. That means a loss of trade hurts them way more. Thats why they agreed to meet and agreed to a pause.

An agreement to lower tariffs for 90 days as a condition of further talks. That's it! Important to know that China DID NOT remove their embargo on American agri products so expect the farmers to demand a bailout soon. They can't last 90 days.

That doesnt answer the question. Its just another unhinged anti-Trump rant from you that has no actual substance.

China send us lots of goods yes, but we the people pay the increased prices not Chinese companies.

 

[Airyaman]

There have been some tariffs on Chinese imports since Trump. Biden actually increased some. But those were targeted towards certain sectors, not blanket. The 30% is a blanket tariff on all Chinese imports.

 

[Fletch]

Yes. These tariffs are meant to generate revenue for the government and encourage investment in the US. The revenue is needed to pay for the proposed tax cuts on tips, overtime and SS.

Uh, yeah, it's an agreement - that's what I said. And NOW you're saying it's an agreement. NO FRIGGING PERSON IS SAYING IT THE FINAL DEAL AND EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL. It's a start.

So sn item that cost me $100 pre Trump will now cost $130…

We are facing economic crisis dude. Why not just increase our taxes and be done with it

 

[Airyaman]

That doesnt answer the question. Its just another unhinged anti-Trump rant from you that has no actual substance.

I see you didn't take my advice.

Yes, China did start importing to more countries in advance of the tariffs they knew would be coming.

But the US consumer is the largest buyer of Chinese goods. Lowering barriers to get back into that market means Chinese companies can sell to the other countries AND the US. Now they can make more money than before.

It's not that difficult to understand.

Did I, or anyone else say the issue is solved, everybody's happy and the world is perfect. it's AGREEMENT even folks on you side are using.

With a $2 trillion annual deficit, taxes do need to be raised. On everyone. But no politician has the guts to say that, so we will continue to see the problem get worse.
