Two choice quotes
1. From Reuters here:
Whenever he goes up against people with a pulse, he loses, because he doesn't prepare - he doesn't have the attention span for it - and has no balls, doesn't care about anything but preserving his rep as a "billionaire dealmaker" so he can go on and con new marks at a later date, and they know it.
1. From Reuters here:
U.S. negotiators have tempered demands that China curb industrial subsidies as a condition for a trade deal after strong resistance from Beijing, according to two sources briefed on discussions, marking a retreat on a core U.S. objective for the trade talks.
2. From Bloomberg "U.S. Farmers Fear China Trade Deal Will Leave Them Worse Off":
Some U.S. farm groups fear that President Donald Trump?s terms for easing his trade war with China risk leaving large swaths of American agriculture worse off than before the conflict began.
Many producers are alarmed by signs that the administration would accept Chinese purchase target pledges for commodities like soybeans and pork without a promise to lift retaliatory tariffs, said industry representatives, some of whom spoke only on condition of anonymity to avoid consequences for publicly criticizing the administration.

?It?s only going to get better because we?re doing trade deals that are going to get you so much business, you?re not even going to believe it,? Trump said at the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in January.
People familiar with the trade negotiations say there has been no agreement to remove retaliatory tariffs, and the issue is likely to be one of the last resolved. Several farm groups are quietly lobbying the administration to reject any agreement maintaining the agricultural levies but have not yet received any assurances from the White House.
?Our guys are being told, sorry, you guys are going to have to pay the price,? Powers said. ?It?s a hard message to accept.?
This is typical of Trump's entire career; guy is all talk, no substance, and in the end he slinks out with his cut - assured by selling out the very people he pretended to be working for - leaving failed businesses in his wake.Many producers are alarmed by signs that the administration would accept Chinese purchase target pledges for commodities like soybeans and pork without a promise to lift retaliatory tariffs, said industry representatives, some of whom spoke only on condition of anonymity to avoid consequences for publicly criticizing the administration.
