Mr Trump's threat to impose tariffs on European cars was put aside.

The EU plans to buy more US liquefied natural gas (LNG) and soybeans.

A joint statement said the two leaders agreed to "work together toward zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies on non-auto industrial goods".

US import tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminium, imposed in March, will however remain in place.

Trump made the EU blink. He's a bit of a gambler, which explains all of his bankruptcies, but he also has a short memory, which people like that need.

He throws shit against the wall and sees if it sticks. If it doesn't, he moves on and tries something else.

Probably not the most stable way to run a country, but it's far more exciting.

Americans are so easily convinced of anything. I've witnessed it myself on US posting sites, they grasp at anything that looks favourable and make out it is real or is definitely happening. Like Trump draining the swamp or being for the people rather than the 1 percent.

Did Americans write the BBC story?

I highlighted the vague promises stuff to help Mads.

Trump established EU sanctions, the EU returned the favour. Trump blinked...

He may have a point. What the Russians want is a constitutional crisis. They want the US, to try to impeach Trump, over the protestations of his loyal followers. The only way that happens is for the Dems to take control of Congress. At that point, Trump starts fighting for his political life, and becomes a non entity on the world stage. Trump may think Putin likes him, but I'm sure Putin looks at Trump as a tool for chaos in the US.

So, Beto then?

What a joke.

I don't know about the jobs, but the welfare payments to farmers are correct.

We need workers here, so if you know anyone that want's to work...........................

Was reading the other day about the worlds largest nail company having to lay of hundreds of workers with possibly more to come.
Then there's a grill making company laying workers off and anyone using steel which has risen in price by over 300% thanks to Trump possibly moving abroad similar with aluminium.
Food piling up and rotting in warehouses because the Chinese no longer buy it off you.
Sounds like a sorry state of affairs.

Yeah, I guess there are a few manufacturing places hurting, but unemployment is still near historic lows.

The meat is frozen, so it's not rotting, but the trade wars are definitely not doing much good. I'm guessing this goes on until the November elections. If the Dems take control of either the house or the senate (or both), I think we might see something change on this front. It will definitely be interesting.

MadDog--very few of these people on sleepingdogs own their own businesses.They all count on a ck from the govt or their bosses(not that there is anything wrong with that)
