Everyone should understand that this deal locks in place the existing 25% tariffs on China. WINNING!
In every negotiation, time favors one side or the other. (It's important to know which side you are on!) In this case TIME FAVORS THE USA, because it is China's economy that is crumbling.
President Trump, of course, knows this, and knows exactly how to use it. By locking the tariffs in place, he is NOT locking in a static situation, but one in which THE USA POSITION CONTINUES TO IMPROVE EVERY DAY.
The Wall Street globalist traders (aka: traitors) are grumbling, because THEY WANTED TO REVERT TO THE OLD CLINTON/BUSH/OBAMA SURRENDER TRADE, where the USA charges no tariffs and continues to export all our manufacturing jobs and strategic industries to China.
Remember, President Trump got major concessions from China in return for not increasing the tariffs December 15th, and partly reducing the 15% instituted in September. The 25% that is eroding China's economic position in the world, and has NOT caused ANY retail price inflation in the USA, is still in place!
The USA's position continues to get stronger every day, putting more and more pressure on China!
(President Trump will absolutely continue to downgrade China in the next 5 years, as he KNOWS they are the major strategic enemy of the USA, and need to be eventually isolated so their communist system can implode like that of the USSR.)
Oh ... and as a punctuation mark on President Trump’s historic correction of the China situation:
“The United States has test-launched a second missile banned by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty, which the Trump administration withdrew from earlier this year.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Stupid former Presidents (and I’m being generous here) kept the USA locked into the INF negotiated with the USSR, even though China, our actual strategic foe, was not a party to it.
