10 years? That is crazy. Trump is right, we make the worst trade deals.

Still waiting for those tariffs Trump talked about during the campaign. Steel tariffs would be a good start. I love tariffs. Bring em on.

We can’t sell rice to Japan. Big rice fields in Calif. 10 years means got the right man in the WH.

Can we mix our industrial waste in with the rice? Turnabout is fair play trade, right?

I thought Susan Rice already sold out to the Chinese. And it didn’t take 10 years of negotiation with her, I’ll bet!

Yep, you are right. Japan bans our rice. Rice farmers in Japan are a strong force.

Can the President just say, no more Toyotas until Rice imports are allowed? How freakin hard is that?

I tried to search to determine if the article was already posted, before I posted.

Got too many Susan Rice articles showing up. Abandoned that idea.

Probably somehow racist to assume the Chinese would want to buy rice.

Only a couple Toyota models (such as Prius) sold here are from Japan. Almost all are built here.

Stuart Varney: Trump has already made America $4 trillion richer (with just six months in office)

Fox News Opinion ^ | July 20, 2017 | Stuart Varney
Posted on 7/20/2017, 3:04:45 PM by 2ndDivisionVet

It’s Thursday, July 20th. As of today, Donald Trump has been president for 6 months. The media coverage of the president is overwhelmingly negative: the press remains contemptuous, and they’re pushing to get him out before he completes his first term.

Investors might think differently. The great success of the Trump presidency thus far, is not what he’s done, but what he promises to do, namely, get the economy going again. Evidently, investors believe he might yet get it done.

Look at this: since his election win, the Trump rally has added $4.1 trillion to the nation’s wealth. Anyone with a 401k, an IRA, college savings, retirement savings, mutual funds. Anyone with a dime in the market has taken a piece of that $4 trillion.

Also, during this presidency, 5 American companies have emerged as global technology leaders. You know their names: Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook. It’s a technology world, and American companies have seized the future.

I find it astonishing that the world of money is so exuberant, while the political world is so contemptuous of this president and his policy of growth.

One brief aside, can anyone tell me the democrats’ growth plan? Do they have one? They apparently still cling to the belief that if we taxed the rich, and give to the poor, shackle capitalism and open the borders, we will somehow grow. Nonsense. Six months in, the left is mired in hate....

Exactly. It is bigoted, per liberal criteria, to think that the Chinese would want to buy rice.

So WILL this rice from the United States go to China to be SOLD TO NORTH KOREA ? ? ?
Or, will China just GIVE IT TO NORTH KOREA FOR FREE ... so North Korea can spend more of its money on weapons ? ? ?

Yes, it is. The USA couldn't possibly supply more than one percent or so of China's rice. Probably the deal is to benefit some specialty rice producers here, or is just clearing out some pointless restrictions.
