U.S. and China agree to slash reciprocal tariffs in major step toward easing trade war

And those numbers are only good for 90 days as of now?
The only real event that is taking place is trade talks. But a sledge hammer was used to get the talks started.

True, only for 90 days. As the administration shot first and said that talks would not change the tariffs, rather than asking to negotiate first, a "sledgehammer" was then needed, and it was the bond market.

Trump's propensity to shoot first and ask questions (ie negotiate) later created the obstacle.
 
If you are not capable of linking them, why are you posting about them?

Show where your information is coming from. And why it's trustworthy.
I’m certainly capable of linking them, but when I post information that is in the OP and should be common knowledge it doesn’t seem necessary. Stealthycat just thinks it’s fun to try to aggravate people.
 
Yes, he has a very reckless approach to doing things. That can and does hurt the economy.
And yes, the bond prices/yields tanking did cause an about face.

Sometimes, most times actually, a plan and thought process should be done.

It is, for those of us who agree with the administrations concern about certain issues, it is extremely frustrating that Trump's personality has, once again, derailed any coherent plan or execution on any issue.
 
Trump's trade war? He just announced it a week ago?
 
Is there anything he can say that we can trust for more than a week?

Narcissism, a mental disease???
 

Yes, those immigrants did look longingly at the Statue. They had good reason to. Which is why I posted the image.

Can you imagine this? My grandparents prodded their sons to pick-up arms in the Korean Conflict! They literally loved their new country so much, the country that saved them, and so highly valued what it stood for, to the point they were willing to risk their most precious commodity for it - the blood of their progeny.

I don't think I've seen much more sincere love & appreciation of the Constitution, than in those WW-II immigrant families.
 
Same as those coming today. I agree.
