White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt has confirmed that there is progress on President Donald Trump’s agenda to get fair international trade standards for American manufacturers and consumers alike.
The president launched a series of tariff battles because for years American producers have had to pay high tariffs to get their products and services into other nations, while those nation’s often have been given virtually free access to American markets.
The imbalance is what has caused America’s large trade deficit and other financial complications.
Trump’s tariffs have been producing results she said.
“We’re doing very well in respect to a potential trade deal with China. There have now been 18 proposals and more than 100 countries around the world who are wanting to make a deal with the United States of America,” Leavitt confirmed.
“The president and administration are setting the stage for a deal with China. … We feel everyone involved wants to see a trade deal happen — and the ball is moving in the right direction.”
The Daily Mail pointed out the Dow Jones Industrial Average rocketed up 600 points on the announcement. Actually, the market surged about 1,000 points on the news.
Fox News reported she continued, “You have Secretary Bessent, Secretary Lutnick, Ambassador Greer, NEC Director Hassett and Peter Navarro, the entire trade team meeting with 34 countries this week alone. We are moving at Trump speed to ensure these deals are made on behalf of the American worker and the American people.”

The Most Revolutionary Act 
Yep, that is the “American way!” Create a problem where there was no problem and then pretend to solve the problem. America outsourced jobs decades ago, and there have been trade imbalances for decades, but now that America and Americans are dead ass broke, it is now time to make changes. Too little, too late. And I have no idea why countries across the globe don’t just leave this sunken Titanic at the bottom of the ocean and conduct business with all other countries.
Every four to eight years, this Titanic gets another geriatric lunatic to stand somewhere and proclaim that they are going to raise this godforsaken Titanic from the depths of its watery grave, and everyone the world over, hopes for a miracle when there is no miracle forthcoming. We are sunk! The world doesn’t get that yet? What will it take?

From what I read, Shebly, there are more and more countries rushing to join BRICS and trade with Russia, China, Iran and India, which are much fairer trading partners than US. I guess the change has to happen slowly or too many innocent people would die. China could crash the US economy tomorrow if they sold the 938 billion of US debt they own. I think the reason they don’t do this is that too many people would suffer.
