It’s called leverage. Future tariffs are a tool to make the Chicoms keep negotiations open. I suspect they will do just that. Do you believe that the tariffs in place now are not hurting China? Do you believe the Chicoms want more? I think President Trump’s goal is to get a good deal for America, not destroying China’s economy. “Leverage: don’t make deals without it. Enhance” ― Donald J.

Correct, those here wanting to see China economically decimated are foolish.

This is no more than a business deal at a very high level but like all business deals the best ones are where both party’s come out with something positive.
