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
Raising input costs for business is the right direction?

YOU LOSERS ARE GETTING HIGHER PRICES. EXCELLENT
 
so...you have nothing. lol.
as always.

you think its an elaborate lie ?

then you need to prove that - you cannot trust/believe everything the Govt says ONLY when your political party is in office

that's very partisan, narrow minded and actually dishonest imo

If this is truly the entire "deal", it is isn't "good progress" it's a one-sided suicide pact:

- China will still purchase US products without unduly penalizing themselves - smart choice.
- China and US return to prior status quo on rare earth metals and Chinese education, just as it always has been.
- US penalizes itself with a 55 percent tax, and makes a wide range of products prohibitively expense for raw materials for US businesses and US consumers...which it could have always done to itself anyway.

And as posters have pointed out, given Trumps lack of credibility, we won't know what was really agreed to till it is officially released.

Trump lies when the truth is easier.

He never passed tariffs, tariffs were destroying us until he flip flopped after like a week, these deals aren't deals. So we have rare earth minerals we had access to before he was President and a tax on goods produced in China? "Winning"

wow
 
So Trump "The Deal Maker" has allowed Chinese communists back into Harvard and all other colleges the communists place them while we deport peace loving citizens that have lived here for as long as 20 years. Gee, what a guy!

And he is so "rational". A month ago he started to revoke visas for Chinese students in the U.S., because of extreme National Security Concerns. He and Rubio targeted Chinese students with connections to the CCP and/or those in the science and stem areas. Trump told us they were a serious risk for espionage, intellectual property theft, and advancing China’s military-industrial complex through access to American research and technology.

The Chinese cut off essential rare earth minerals to the US.

Trump essentially says "Never mind, I guess they weren't as serious as national concern as I thought".

Chinese reply, "then rare earths will no longer be cutoff."

Trump announces victory because he is such as great "deal maker"...LOL.

In the meantime, it appears the alleged agents for Red China will be returning to pilfer our science and technology.

Good Job Mr. President, oh and thanks for raising our taxes on many critical and important raw and finished material imports to 55 percent. What a bargain. ;)

A deal.....to agree on agreeing to a plan.

Not a solid deal deal.
 
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.

Trump was just overdramatizing to get the markets to rally.....to replace the losses from the beginning of his Tariffgeddon.

Show me the signed specifics

Yeah. The deal is done until next week.

I can't wait to pay higher prices!

Thanks Maga
 
China made like three major promises to Trump during his first term, just to get him off their jock, and then never came through.

Why do idiots believe this liar? What's missing in their brains?
