It appears progress has been made in our trade relationship with China. Seems to be moving in a good direction.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the United States will get magnets and rare earth minerals from China under a new trade deal and that tariffs on Chinese goods will rise to 55%.

In return, Trump said, the U.S. will provide China “what was agreed to,” including allowing Chinese students to attend American colleges and universities. The Republican president had recently begun to clamp down on the presence of Chinese nationals on U.S. college campuses.

The new 55% tariff rate would mark a meaningful increase from the 30% levy set in Switzerland during talks in May.

“OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL WITH PRESIDENT XI AND ME.,” Trump wrote Wednesday on his social media site.

He said full magnets and any necessary rare earths will be supplied up front by China.

“WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%. RELATIONSHIP IS EXCELLENT!” Trump wrote.

Senior U.S. and Chinese negotiators announced late Tuesday in London that they had agreed on a framework to get their trade negotiations back on track after a series of disputes that threatened to derail them.

The announcement came at the end of two days of talks in the British capital that wrapped up late Tuesday

I'll believe it when it is signed.

A 55% tariff will cut Chinese exports to about 30% of the current level, with predictable consequences.
 
The article made it clear that all they have is the concept for a plan, which is the exact place we were at weeks ago in Switzerland, suggesting that thus far Donald is no closer to a deal than he was previously.
China does not do quick deals. The last one took over 20 months.
 
This is hilarious. AND embarrassing for the OP. From the article he posted:

What Trump described as a “deal” actually is a framework to help the U.S. and China eventually negotiate a sought-after trade agreement, which Trump intends to do with numerous countries but so far has been unable to execute on as quickly as he promised the public he'd be able to.

Do you ever get tired of Trump pulling the football away from you at the last second? Your continued fawning over a POS like him is just sad.
 
I doubt we have the whole story this morning, and 55% sounds really high if we're talking about bikes, shoes and washing machines.
 
How's that Ukraine mineral deal working out? :D
 
lefties aren't having a good weeks

trade deals made, LA rioting being handled because Newsom/Democrats can't ...... ughhh

Paying 55% more for goods is "moving in the right direction"?

So all that said, what would your plan be to help reduced costs, increase employment and incentivize foreign investment IN the US?

Let me guess: 1. Tax the "rich" to pay their "fair share".2. Increase the corporate tax to 35% like it used to be? 3. DEI initiatives? 4. More government subsidized "health care"?

Tell us sarge!

Nice. He has the concepts of a plan. 2 weeks at most.

Trump's deals are a net negative from the situation before he was elected. He acts as if a 55% tariff will do anything other than cause a recession.
