Well it's not like Roundy would have read anything about the framework agreement before he posted his usual crap.

 

 

Roundy can read?

It's an ongoing negotiation, but who needs facts?

 

"Our final deal is done, save final approval with President Xi and Me".

 

" The USA and China have reached and agreement..."

 

Those are some pretty terrible misspellings of "Ongoing Negotiation".

Yeah like trump never misspeaks, but now what he says we're gonna take as concrete. Sure.

That is not true.

Where is it “ongoing negotiation” in Trump’s statement?

It’s really adorable how you try to dunk on me when you couldn’t actually answer what this deal does.

It’s largely about the rare earths.  I’ve been trying my best all day to work thru the details for you that aren’t really public yet. 
 

But it appears we are trying to position ourselves to not be held hostage by China’s CURRENT dominance on REE.  

 

But that’s changing.  China has a lot to lose here to, as other countries begin to enter the market.  This is the best source I’ve found on that and how over the last 20 years China has repeatedly used their dominance of REE to wield as a hammer:

This is a big deal:

 

I’m reading this as China knows the U.S. can begin to get the REE elsewhere - over the next 1, 5, 10 years this will happen.  
 

China has leverage now but in the long run they are going to lose it.   
 

Plus, we’re keeping the tariffs on Chinese goods.  
 

This is good for American companies and jobs.

Visited the Skeller a few times with friends who attended.  I suppose one could spend too much time there, but darn it, I liked it.  Not all education takes place in the classroom.

I thought it was called the Rat Cellar because that's what it looked like to me. But I was seeing double at the time so who knows.

Yes, the WSJ is doing the best reporting on this now.

 

On the opinion side of that same newspaper, this also strikes me as accurate:

 

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/china-trade-talks-donald-trump-tariffs-f730f437?mod=hp_opin_pos_1

 

Developing an alternative supply will take years and require cooperation with allies because the U.S. can’t produce and process all the rare earths it needs. Japan has pitched a rare-earths alliance as part of tariff negotiations, and the Administration would be wise to expand such a partnership with other allies.

This gets to the larger problem with Mr. Trump’s tariff strategy—that is, he doesn’t have one. His latest walk-back shows he can’t bully China as he tried to do in his first term. China has leverage of its own.

A smarter trade strategy would be to work with allies as a united front to counter China’s predatory trade practices. Instead, Mr. Trump has used tariffs as an economic scatter-gun against friends as well as foes. This increases China’s leverage, and, like this week’s trade truce, that’s nothing to cheer about.

They want those Walmart workers to make $25 an hour but they don't want to pay more for the Walmart items to make it happen. Then where does the money come from? It makes no sense.

Your last short sentence sums it all up, they don't have any common sense so how can they have any sense what so ever !!! You'll find that out every reply you get from Roundy no common sense what so ever !!! 

[Homelander]

143 days since Day 1, 23 days left in the tariff pause - and the total number of trade deals so far?

 

Zero.

 

Impressive work, MAGA.
