China will implement new tariffs on another $75 billion worth of U.S. goods,. The tariffs will range between 5% and 10% and will be implemented in two batches on Sept. 1 and Dec. 15.

I am the chosen one.

Wasn't that an objective of the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) that Trump withdrew US from last year -- to develop trade agreements with other low--labor--cost mfg countries in SE Asia?

We need more jimcramer and less POTUS.

The DOW has a red candle for last year. There is likely to be another one this year. DJIA

This is temporary. In the long run, it will be good if the companies move out of China.

Rou Guys no Tladee w/ China. Ha ha. We had Pran to destabirize them. No Starch Preeze. China and Japan ar number 2 and number 3 in economic output and Trump mocks Xi and Abe. He is really about to find how strong the FED IS.

And he JOKED about it. What a guy.

He’s right. There will be an economic hit at first, but, yet again. He’s right. America needs to change its relationships. This is WELL overdue.

Even his fans must allow That Trump's got a case of mad cow. He's stark raving mad Based on facts that we've had-- Or else he went short on the Dow.
