Watch: Trump signs US-Japan trade deals at White House
CNBC ^ | October 7, 2019 | Kevin Breuninger

President Donald Trump on Monday is set to sign two agreements at the White House related to the U.S. trade relationship with Japan.

Trump is set to sign the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement and U.S.-Japan Digital Trade Agreement, according to the White House.

The president is sealing those deals with Japan days before his negotiators are set to resume high-level trade talks with a delegation of senior Chinese officials. The two economic superpowers are working to hash out a sweeping deal that addresses issues including trade deficits, intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers.

Watching Fox News, they keep hyping "The President is going to speak any second now, keep watching...". And they say this over and over, even saying they'll cut from a commercial to air it.

Finally, the President comes out and begins speaking. So two minutes into it, Fox cuts away and says if he says anything important we'll tell you about it. Grrr! They hype it, then deny the access.

This is why I hate the MSM, that they won't let us hear things from President Trump's own speech directly, and they'll interpret it and inform us. Yeah, right. Screw Fox, we'll listen to Trump directly and interpret for ourselves!

Meanwhile the Dems are inventing another hoax to investigate, the media is frothing about a 2nd leaker even though we have the transcript, and the deep state is getting rich while undermining our constitution..

U.S. stocks traded down on Monday after media reports suggested Chinese officials would not strike a deal on intellectual property protections, a provision American industry has long hoped for, when negotiators meet later this week.

If he signs a deal with China he’s re-elected.

Even if he signs a deal, the chinks are a bunch of liars anyway as they have no concept of honor.

Not a problem. AS the Prez said, either we get a deal FAIR to us or the tariffs get ramped up and continue.

The Chinese are totally OUT of ammunition in this dispute. Read this morning that Chinese banks are out of the American dollars.

Companies are already leaving China for greener and less expensive pastures.

Trump will win this battle.

President Trump works for America as the rest of the swamp is taking a big dump on America.

If Trump signs a deal with China it will be all in America’s interest and none for China. Winnie the Pooh can’t allow that, he needs to save his ugly face.

OANN broadcast the whole thing. They always air his pressers and usually the whole thing.

FOX is just another Never-Trumper network.

A distinction without a difference

The USA and Japan together produce over 40% of the world GDP output. This trade agreement is monumental and will neutralize the effect of a threatening China to the free world. If only we could get the EU and the rest of the Anglosphere to cooperate with Trump we’d have world peace for years to come.

Guess Japan isn’t going to nix its 800 percent rice subsidies anytime soon?
