They ain't making TRADE DEALS WITH CHINA!!

That's "what", ****!!

God, YOU ARE ONE STUPID PIECE OF ****.

------------------------------What was supposed to be a historic, era-defining trade war launched by US President Donald Trump against a range of countries has, for now, narrowed in on a singular target: China.Trump announced a three-month pause Wednesday on all the “reciprocal” tariffs that had gone into effect hours earlier – with one exception, deepening a confrontation set to dismantle trade between the world’s two largest economies. Then on Thursday, Beijing made good on its vow to bring in its own retaliatory tariffs.The pace of that escalation has been stunning. Over the course of a week, Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports have jumped from 54% to 104% and now 125% – figures that add to existing levies imposed prior to the president’s second term. And China has retaliated in kind, raising additional, retaliatory duties on all US imports to 84%.ADVERTISING---

--------------------------“It’s really hard to overstate the expected shocks this is going to have, not just to the Chinese economy itself, but also to the entire global trading landscape,” as well as on the US, he said.Trump appeared to link his decision not to grant China the same reprieve as other nations to Beijing’s swift retaliation, telling reporters Wednesday that “China wants to make a deal, they just don’t know how quite to go about it.”
