The Trump Tariffs are working!
Here is President Donald Trump in the White House Rose Garden announcing with European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker a deal that has been reached to work toward zero tariffs and zero trade barriers on non-automotive products between the U.S. And Europe. The EU agreed to buy American Soybeans and to buy American Liquified Natural Gas a direct shot at Russia!
Those NeverTrumpers who have incessantly attacked Trump for using Tariffs to create a more level playing field for Trade now have egg all over their collective faces. Trump is proving he knows what he is doing. What a victory for America and for President Trump! . . . .

Trump is the ultimate free trader. If they wont free trade with us, we wont free trade with them. If we make it painful enough, they will come to the table.
The Art of the Deal.
Perfectly said! Trump IS for Free Trade. It’s not free if the other guy is slapping a 25% tax on your stuff and you don’t charge him any tax. The goal is zero tariffs. We are now fighting back thanks to Trump!
Even though I agree with Levin on most things wonder what he’s got to say about this tariff news? He has been anti Trump on this issue, biggly. Ha Ha Mark, guess the Donald really does know what he’s doing. How long will it take for all the talking heads, both right and left, to realize Trump really is playing three or four moves ahead!
His critics are just being disingenous. They wont even bother to clean the egg off their faces.
The snowball will only get bigger. All Trump needs to do is tell our international friends that they can get on the train or not, but it’s leaving. A great US economy translates to a great world economy. Everybody wins.
Look back over the last 20 months or so.
How has Trump spent his time?
Easy answer from the author of The Art of the Deal: He is making deals. Better than that, he is making GOOD DEALS. He understands and is willing to use the huge military and economic superiority we have. He has leverage and he uses it. Wisely.
Uh Oh....this is going to cause stomach upsets for all those “free traders” who do not care about obscene trade deficits, which are responsible for foreign ownership of American factories, businesses, land, buildings & mines.
Levin is a talking head who has not signed many paychecks on the front. No comparison with Trump when it comes to how main street economy works.
It’s a victory for sure but this was barely a skirmish and not even a battle in the trade war. We are a looong way from final victory.
It’s like he mapped out the plan for the chessboard of the world and then started making his moves one by one and as each one succeeded the plan advanced - just the way he intended. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if we see big change in Iran at some point during Trump’s presidency.
Waiting for the “Trump’s a globalist” concern trolls to weigh in....with their usual faulty arguments....
This is great news.
That said, what percentage of our EU trade deficit is represented by automobiles?
I can’t think of a lot of other things we buy from them.
The trade deficits are result of deals going back to post-WW-II. That is 70+ years! It will not be resolved in 7 days or 7 weeks. But I expect to see positive results by Nov 2020. If not resolved by that date, Trump will be free to lower the boom and crush foreign economies and it won’t be pretty.
Keep in mind China can affect $250 Billion of US economy. Because that is all they buy from us. We can affect $750 Billion of Chinese economy which is totally unsustainable for China. It will mean 100 million workers out of a job.
