The guy with the chainsaw looked real ngl........... kind of freaked out by this lol

Still thinking the most likely outcome of the tariff/trade war will be agreement by negotiation.

Trump knows a whole new trade agreement architecture is needed that addresses the whole range of disreputable practices in trade, he's just using the tariffs as a threat as to what might be if there is no agreement (no trade at all).

And it's no empty threat if China won't play ball cards. They have to most to lose after all, sure they'll get by if no deal is reached but good trade relations will mean a lot more to gain than just getting by, for China, and the US.

In just 2 months Trump completely ended Bidenflation.










They still don't get Trump, he's full of bluster to get the other side's attention and to then get them talking, but then he climbs down from a maximist position to find an agreement that is genuinely beneficial to both (if it's not - nothing would ever gets signed). That's how he makes deals, good deals.

Meloni gets it, China still don't. Trying to antagonise Trump like you're in a fight and not actually in the opening of a negotiation process is not the way to go.

Treat Trump's bluster like it's really a polite invitation, which it is really. An invitation to do business with the most important man in New York the World.

It's taken 50 years for the US to get into this suicidal debt crisis and it's going to take a lot of digging to get them out. One-sided trade arrangements with near every country on earth is a big part of the problem caused by the US itself and 30 years of outsourcing.

United States secretary of the treasury Scott Bessent talking of escalating the trade war to include secondary tariffs/sanctions (sanctions on countries selling on China goods).

Completely unnecessary, as is keeping raising the tariff % level once it's past the point of stopping all trade anyway. China already talking about a willingness to negotiate, that was the plan - get on with the negotiations.

China will agree to a more even trade arrangement rather than no trade at all. Trump should just get on with it now.

Happy Easter big vvFish. Although we have varying opinions at times, you're one of our original members and you mean a lot to Forex Station.

Thanks for being with us (until now)

This is the woke mind virus in action.

The Tariff dispute continues and reminds me of the initial sanctions by Germany against Russia.

If you're having a dispute with your biggest supplier or best customer you need to consider who is going to be hurt the most if the dispute ends in divorce.

If the answer is you, then taking the hard line and being the tough guy is probably not going to work.

Germany FAFO, and China is going down that same route. Maybe in the future China will be selling stuff absolutely crucial to the US but at the moment Chinese socks and T-shirts aren't it.

Sure 70% of all stuff on Amazon is made in China and they're thinking that's enough leverage but it's not. Initially the gap will be filled by middlemen buying from China and selling back onto the US market until other providers can tool up, which won't take long.

Factory owners in the rest of Asia, India, Pakistan and South America are all rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation.

The Chinese leadership should know by now how Trump operates and is being dumb if they're not even going to listen and talk. Trump always takes a step back when talks actually start.
