“Trump tells Chinese president US will honor ‘one China’ policy.”
As long as the one China emanates from Taiwan.
With President Trump everything is used as leverage. This is something that is more important to them than it is to us. They are now being reminded that if they want to keep it they have to start playing nice. As immoral and hypocritical as current policy is... the whole thing is a big joke in most ways
Not the right war at the right time.
1) Seal borders.
2) Rebuild economy.
3) Contain Russkies
4) Weaken China economically
5) Bull gets the sword.
my guess is that DJT will “honor” said “agreement” with lip service only ...
Don’t forget that we need to rebuilt our military equipment.
They still own a TON of our Bonds and could unleash a S*Storm if the unloaded them.
Sounds more like leverage WE have.

HA, HA, HA, good one!
He should, but it’s more important to demonstrate that he can be intimidated. Lulls the Chicoms into a real sense of security.
Donald hits one into the rough.
