  • Trade War With China Over...

    That idiot Trump, he just screws everything up!

    US, China agree to abandon trade war: Beijing

    Liu called the agreement a "necessity", but added: "At the same time it must be realised that unfreezing the ice cannot be done in a day, solving the structural problems of the economic and trade relations between the two countries will take time."

    An earlier joint statement issued in Washington said Beijing would "significantly" increase its purchases of American goods, but offered few details.

    "There was a consensus on taking effective measures to substantially reduce the United States trade deficit in goods with China," the joint statement said.

    "To meet the growing consumption needs of the Chinese people and the need for high-quality economic development, China will significantly increase purchases of United States goods and services."

    It said both sides had agreed on "meaningful increases" in US agriculture and energy exports. Liu said the new trade cooperation would extend to medical care, high-tech products, and finance, according to Xinhua.

    They also agreed to strengthen cooperation on protecting intellectual property -- a long-standing source of US discontent.

    Naw, ya got it all wrong. China was gonna buy everybody in the US - man, woman and child - a free pony, but Trump made them mad, and this is all we get.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            The anti-Trump angle is that he's caving to Chinese demands. Ya just can't trust the guy to stick to his guns.

              Don't worry, they saved Pinkie Pie for you. Trump seems to really know exactly what you like.

                Pretty much.

                So you should probably wait and see the results rather than falling for the advertising.

                  I saw this week that American Airlines will let your pony fly with you as an 'emotional support animal'. But only miniature ponies.

                    From that article - "The airline also banned "any animal that is unclean or has an odor.""

                    The big guy who sat next to me on my last flight should have been denied boarding.

                      FWIU, it is based on Muslims considering dogs unclean and refusing to use them for service animals like for blind people, but they do use miniature horses for this[1] which is the reason they're on various approved animal lists for allowable service animals.

                      There is controversy over whether miniature horses are suitable as assistance animals for persons with disabilities. Those who favor their use point out that horses live much longer than dogs and can be trained to perform similar tasks. Another plus is that some individuals, particularly from Muslim cultures, consider dogs unclean, but accept horses.

                        They are used by more than just muslims. And they do live a lot longer and are easier to manage in someways (no to mention you can feed them your lawn... Just saying...).

                        Also, they CAN be housebroken, that's just incorrect. Full sized horses have been successfully housebroken. Heck, I even saw a housebroken heifer on FB not long ago. A dog or a horse is going to need yard time so this isn't much of an objection.

                        Horses have been trained for war up through modern times (they last served in WWI) - and are no more inclined to run than dogs are to fight. Horses have been doing this work since 2002 and we don't see a bunch of blind people being dragged down the street when a car backfires (which, incidentally, horses can become acclimated to - otherwise, they couldn't be safely ridden by officers, either).

                            Wall Street Breakfast: U.S.-China Trade War 'On Hold'
                            Stocks, oil prices and the dollar are all getting a boost, with the Dow set to leap 228 points, amid easing U.S.-China tensions that have roiled global markets this year. "We are putting the trade war on hold. Right now, we have agreed to put the tariffs on hold while we try to execute the framework," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox News, as Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer cautioned that tariffs remained an important tool to "protect our technology."
