      Consequences of stirring a hornet's nest without doing all necessary homework.  Should have stockpiled 20 years worth of rare earth before going into the fight....tsk tsk.

      Macam, the British got the short end of the deal with the blanket 10% tariffs. So much for being a staunch ally. Cannot expect anything from Saturday deal talk with China, unless Trump treats British as bullyable. Tsk tsk.

      I wonder how do u make a deal with another party without meeting or having negotiation with the other party? Talking to air? Might as well just say that US will unilaterally lower the tariffs. Say so much just for saving face. Or maybe US will just say a deal made with China without ever meeting with China? Usual tactics from T. I would wonder would China remove the restrictions on rare earth which is more damaging to US than the tariffs...hmmmm Also more manufacturing in US, how about lower labour cost and are Americans willing to slog in factories? Since the illegal and legal immigrants are deported indiscriminately?

WASHINGTON, April 22 - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Tuesday that he believes there will be a de-escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions, but negotiations with Beijing have not yet started and would be a "slog," according to a person who heard his closed-door presentation to investors at a JP Morgan conference.Bessent described the current bilateral trade situation as a two-way embargo, and neither side sees the status quo as sustainable, the person said. Bessent added that the Trump administration's goal was not to decouple the world's two largest economies.Instead, Bessent said that he was hoping for a "big, beautiful rebalancing" of China's economy towards more consumption and the U.S. economy towards more manufacturing, but it was unclear whether Beijing was ready to do th

      United States Eases Port Fees On China-Built Ships After Industry Backlash

      LOS ANGELES, April 17 - The Trump administration shielded on Thursday domestic exporters and vessel owners servicing the Great Lakes, the Caribbean and U.S. territories from port fees to be levied on China-built vessels, aiming to revive U.S. shipbuilding.The Federal Register notice posted by the U.S. Trade Representative was watered down from a February proposal for fees on China-built ships of up to $1.5 million per port call that sent a chill through the global shipping industry.Foreign roll-on/roll-off auto carriers, known as ro-ros, are eligible for refunds of fees if they order or take delivery of a U.S.-built vessel of equivalent capacity in the next three years.
