Trump extends China tariff deadline by 90 days

Well today is Tuesday…

China does not give two shits about making a deal with trump.

So you’re saying that Trump moved this date arbitrarily? Not because China asked for more time? What’s your ultimate point here?

China asked for more time? LOL.

You know what the word “truce” means?

Yes there is a reason why they call him taco…Guy folds like a cheap suit. China can wait till he is out of office. They just don’t care. You can fucking tariff them and guess what they still pay their workers 10 dollars a day. You just don’t get it. You can’t understand that China has ZERO to lose. They hold a ton of our debt and if they decided to call us on it our country would go straight into a major depression.

SIMPLE CHINA AND SAUDI ARABIA ARE TWO COUNTRIES WHO OWN US. The moment they decide that they want us to PAY UP…We are fucked. But carry on.

Yes, it means there is a war.

Not really. Japan holds the most US debt followed by the UK and then China. The Saudis are 17th. Only 24% of our debt is held by foreign countries, as well. Now, as far as influence, I think it’s pretty clear who owns the United States in order: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

I’m glad that number is not higher.

Me too. Elite is right that if one of them called it in, we’d be tanked, but they can’t. It’s not a debt that can be called upon at any moment like a debt to the guy up the street. They can sell them off, but that would end up eating them too. Complicated, but they can’t just sell the debt outright, en mass. It would fuck their economies too.

Warden, my point is that they have a ton of ol and these tariffs effect us more then them. The main reason saudi arabia is never held accountable for 9/11 and also the killing of one of reporters is the impact would be devastating if we decided to go after them. China owns a lot of out debt as well.

Man, I wasn’t trying to dispute your point, just who the players are and at what ranking. I agree entirely.

It means both sides agreed and took independent actions

Um…okay

You realize China also extended their tariffs as well?

We wouldn’t be in this position if he didn’t start the tariff thing to begin with.

Yes. Maybe I need to read through the comments again, but I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

We’ve had 2 surpluses last 2 months. That position?

The insinuation was that Trump’s extension was a unilateral decision based on weakness or a bad position. But it wasn’t unilateral.

At the expense of higher business expenses. The same business expenses that resulted in higher prices. Those surpluses? Here is a lesson in math, if there is a surplus in one area, there is usually a shortage in another area.

What position is that?

What the fuck are you maniacs spazzing about now?
