So Chinese President Xi was correct that the Trump would blink first?
Of course, China says that the Trump tariffs must be rolled back before talks begin.
I wonder if Xi is waiting until the US domestic situation gets bad enough to force Trump into a big concession?

TIG seems to be all about the deal, so he can brag about being the best dealmaker in the world. His first “peace” proposal for Ukraine reeked of “making a deal at any cost” as it was a total surrender to Putin and cramming it down Zelensky’s throat. So now, the war goes on, but he has a “deal”.
I’m confident TIG will call anything a “win”.
The CBS “news” talked to the operator of a US company making steel pipe. The operator said 25% tariff on imported steel isn’t enough. He wants the rate doubled, or tripled.

Seriously ???
Of Course he will wait for the US Domestic Situation to get bad enough to force Trump into a big,bad concession, lol.
Covid lockdown was not that long ago. At the time we did not know if it was life or death. And plenty of Americans could still not be bothered with doing what was good for our Society. A good sized percentage acted like any inconvenience was an internal act of war. And we are supposed to believe that now the American Public will batten down the hatches, because Trump says it’s got to be done ??? Color me skeptical,lol. I truly hope I’m wrong, but I do not see the American Public being able to outlast the Chinese Public in regards to dealing with shortages.
Like I said, hope I’m wrong. Trump walked the plank, and dragged all of us with him. Maybe this all goes away with just a few minor scrapes and bruises. But I’d bet that the Chinese can endure hardship better than Americans.
Sorry, intercst, I should have got that was sarcasm, lol.
