    And it will be interesting to see the "concessions" America gets. My guess is, almost nothing meaningful. Because I'm still not convinced that the rest of the world was "ripping us off" as we became the richest nation on earth.

      Well they backed their reciprocal tariff down from 125% to 30% also. Not clear whether they’ve backed off the rare earths moratorium. I haven’t heard about it so I’m guessing not.

          I mean, concessions as compared to status quo before the world trade war was declared by Trump.

            @jon-nyc When all is finished it will be interesting to see a table of before tariffs vs after tariffs for various countries and see how much (if any) change there was.

            Also need to account for GDP and/or jobs lost, and cost increase to citizens, for what seems to be a completely pointless exercise in bullying.

              They are bragging that there were none and that they’re the only country being treated as an equal.

                Count John Stossel, boomer conservative, in with those who don't think the tariffs are a good idea. The set of people who like them remains limited to Trump and exactly two of his advisors.

                  I've enjoyed Stossel's segments ever since his "give me a break" segments during 20/20 back in the 90's.

                        It's so typical that when you punch someone in the face, they'll just whine about how much it hurt. They have no idea how predictable and tedious that whining is. It happens almost every time someone gets punched in the face.

                          Copper doesn't like it when people criticise President Trump.

                              Better than Pete Rose, and still alive. (The rumor is that Mr. Trump got the ban lifted).
