  • US-Japan trade talks hit pothole on auto duties: Trump's threat to raise tariffs 25% looms over the negotiations

    From asia.nikkei.com

    The U.S. and Japan got off to a rocky start in working-level trade talks on Tuesday as Washington pushes back against Tokyo's call to eliminate tariffs on cars and auto parts. Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Jeffrey Gerrish led talks on the American side, meeting with Kazuyoshi Umemoto, Japan's chief negotiator for the Trans Pacific-Partnership, and policy coordinator Kazuhisa Shibuya. After the meeting, Shibuya told reporters that Gerrish said the two sides were "still far apart." U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Toshimitsu Motegi, Japan's minister for economic and fiscal policy, will continue ... (full story)

Sooner or later, Trump will start a trade war with Europe too...let's see how will look US economy in 3 month after multple retaliation...China, Eu, Japan and so on...
Isn't it interesting, just like the EU Japan asks for zero tariffs but shockingly the US rejects this, they want OTHERS to remove tariffs and subsidies but of course not the US.

The UK is also always preaching the gospel of free trade, meanwhile they are subsidizing literally everything they can subsidize. In-work benefits, Bombardier, Boeing and now just watch, they're going to bail out British Steel.

The true free trade role models are the EU and Japan, yes that's right precisely the economies who THEY (the brainwashed ones) characterize as socialist/protectionist. Take it with a big grain of salt, that's all you can do.

Yes, we get it. You're predicting doom and gloom for the US. Reminds me of all the liberals when Trump got elected. Yes, trade war long term is very bad but real Americans will withstand short term pain for long term gain.

So ironic too that the conspiracy theorists say "Trump only cares about the stock market etc etc".

If he only cared about getting re-elected and the stock market, then he would just sign some half-assed deal and the market would continue upwards. But maybe he actually cares about his country and the future of his our citizens. After all, he could be sailing the 7 seas in his yacht with hottie wife, all the while wiping his ass with 100 dollar bills for the rest of his life. But instead, he took an incredibly thankless job for no pay. The man has worked 60 hours plus per week for 50 plus years.

I predict nothing, I just make copy paste from news...and you are right, my respect for Trump, but no matter what, he is right regarding China, we will see (normaly) economic problems, because Us can not produce all, it is a worldtrade...and I think are a lot of Chinesse money in Us economy...we will see what will happen in the future....

If that were really a problem. You need to remember just two things:

The US can feed itself. The same cannot be said for most of the rest of the world.
The US is energy independent at this point.

China can keep the crappy poisoned products. We will keep our food and energy.

Honestly I can't see by his attitudes anything that looks like he cares about the country. Based on stupid excuses he is trying to bring any country down so USA can reign absolute. That is he major issue with China. Now he is trying to screw Japan. Why instead get all these fights with countries that can be a good partners he does take a real care about his own country(if he consider USA his country and not money and power)? A lot of americans a "living" way below the poverty line, more and more americans sharing the streets as "home" and depending on the other peoples good hearth to get food.
Those one who still have a job are paying the bill for his egocentric, selfish attitudes.
Based on your comment I really but really would like to see all other countries cut all imports and exports from / to USA and isolated it. So would be interesting to see how you, the republicans and the rest of the country would be.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. You may missed that class: https://classroom.synonym.com/list-of-foods-imported-into-the-us-12080392.html

Also if USA is energy independent (and you didn't specify what kind of energy) why you guys keep fomenting war in countries rich in oil? Why is that? To protect the poor people against the bad guys?? Seems you are watching too much The Avengers...

Also if USA can feed itself why so many people don't have not even 1 meal a day? Maybe the country produces too much and export all so more money to waste in wars. Also do me a favor: go to some shops around your area and buy anything that has a tag where you can read "made in USA". Not even the famous USA jeans has it. If you don't want any "crappy poisoned products" you may have to walk naked and barefoot.
By the way I believe the only poisoned thing is your very short mind.
