To: Zhang Fei
"The president argued that memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with China are essentially meaningless"

"The Trump-Lighthizer public dispute, besides being an embarrassment, tells us the president is souring on those inside his team who are driving a hard line toward Beijing. "

Those two statements sound contradictory. The first sounds like Trump is taking a harder line than his team. The second says it's the other way around.

Trump should keep the tariffs in place until the trade deficit comes down and we have the industries back that we want.

In fact Trump should keep raising the tariffs if the trade deficit doesn't drop significantly.

And he should make some of the tariffs permanent so that we don't lose the industries again.

Yes, that is the way I read it too. It sounds from that statement like Trump is fighting for toughness and eliminating toothless agreements where his trade negotiator’s are pursuing “meaningless” pledges of cooperation.
