China is using Korea as leverage. All the President has to do is hang tough. The Chinese economy will not survive this indefinitely.
Unlike the ankle-grabbing Brown Clown, the Smirking Chimp and Rapin Bill.
GOOD!
Tariffs on China already in effect. And more sanctions on Russia go in effect next week for Skirpal poisoning *and* violating UN North Korea sanctions.
I don’t know about that.
China is currently running history’s largest bilateral trade surplus, with any country, ever.
With America.
And it is getting even worse, this year.
Good decision, Mr. President.
Kim and Co. still have to do their part.
Nothing more is guaranteed until they follow the plan.
Iran was able to walk all over Obama and John Kerry, because Iran knew what these two Americans really cared about was the smiling photo ops, and money was no object of concern.
There are rumblings in China about the way their rulers have handled this. They are hurting.
I’ve read articles about this from credible sources. I found the artices here at Freerepublic.
That may be. Or that could be another way China runs all over America, in unfair trade practices. With unsubstantiated information “leaked”.
However:
As of the latest published numbers, China is currently running an all-time high surplus with America. Highest. EVER.
June 2018 is the most recent month for which data is available right now. Every single month this year, China has enjoyed a trade surplus with America, which is higher than it was last year.
Last year, was a new historical high. (Highest ever.)
We are currently setting new records, for the Chinese trade surplus.
Right now.

After Trump former lawyer’s confession, Kim has no reason to take the negotiations seriously.
Lol. the news about Iran and China are not credible, history has told us.
That makes absolutely no sense.
The wishful thinking baits are so ridiculous, no wonder Trump calls them fake news.
Trump team now is in serious trouble, Chinese government knows that.
Exactly right. Mueller should be charged with sedition/treason.
What “trouble” do you think Trump is in? Impeachment? Read the thread just posted here about how that ain’t gonna happen.
China can’t even lose a battle in trade war, unless Trump kills the globalisation.
Now what does Pres. Trump do? To paraphrase, he said work us or feel the wrath of our military. I don't want a war with the NORKs, but what is left if they keep building nukes? That Boy and his dedicated generals CAN NOT be allowed to have nukes on ICBM's. Un is just too crazy. What should Trump do?
Trump team in serious trouble? Like to spread BS much?
Well considering how much our businesses have sold out to China, I think he should.
But that is just me. We have depended FAR TOO HEAVILY in building up our biggest potential adversary.
This has been complete foolishness.
In my opinion.
