The Americans always win in negotiations, ... and tariff war

KUALA LUMPUR: Three Southeast Asian states involved in ending a recent armed conflict in the region - Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia - hailed the reduction in tariff rates imposed by the United States as a victory after prolonged talks, and a reprieve for their domestic economies.

Experts said the ceasefire, which allowed US President Donald Trump to burnish his peacemaker image, was among several contributing factors that led to substantial tariff discounts for these Southeast Asian countries.  CNA

There is euphoria in the above comments. Wow, so lucky, Trump is so generous, tariff rates reduced for good behaviour. The three countries must be very grateful to Trump now, without knowing that in the first place there is no reason for Trump to punch them. Trump started by saying he wanted to punch them 10 times, and they were worried. Now Trump said he would punch them 7 times and they are so happy, only 7 times. They did not question why they should be punched 7 times or not at all.

The coloured people would always lose when negotiating with the Americans. Prior to every negotiation, the Americans would attack the other party first by making more allegations or making more demands. The real position of the Americans may be to ask for 3 items but attack first to put the other party on the defensive, and then demand 10 items. Very often they even got away with 5 items, more than the 3 items they wanted and the other party would be so happy and even pat their own backs for a good deal, that they negotiated and won.

Now all the countries affected by the tariff war accepted that they must pay more tariffs and getting a little reduction is victory or the Americans are kind and generous to them. And Trump would be saying, thank you very much for being silly.

Stupidity has no cure.

I can't believe there are still leaders so blatantly stupid to give credit to Trump when no credit is due. Stupidity has no cure is an understatement.

I want to throw up upon reading about the expert's view. Channel News America thrives on using experts to make their views more believable and justified.

Threatening with five slaps and getting three is still a good reason to praise Trump for his kindness. I am flabbergasted.

Majority are just leashed dogs by the Americunts and even after been unleashed still thought that they are still been leashed!

China is now leading to free all the clutches from.the yoke of the White Barabians especially the Americunts and yet the Silly Asians at least not so the Africans are still rushing to kiss their Arses.

Last time they harped that China is nonchalant.

Putting and greasing their arses and holes for the White Barbarians to screw.

No eyes see

If it works the way it is said to be, why not Trump just remove all the sanctions on Russia and Putin will talk about peace. But then, Putin is not as stupid as some leaders. It will still not work.

Hope they do not end up like India. Trump played Modi upside down and vice versa.

Howard Lutnik still shamelessly gloating about the USA collecting tariffs of 10%, 15%, 25% from everybody. Who are paying those tariffs? The Hillbillies will be paying for them, end of story.

The USA Government will be collecting more money from the suffering USA citizens, not the exporters in China, India, Vietnam, Malaysia or EU. That question of who are paying those tariffs have never been officially answered. That is the beauty of the con-job.

The mantra being repeated everywhere is that the USA is winning with tariffs on every Tom, Dick and Harry. No one talks about who is paying those tariffs. It seems like a non-event. By playing up and down with figures, Trump and his administration thinks that the question of who is paying those tariffs will be pushed into the background and not be raised by the MSM or anyone. Well, let us see what happens next.

Now Trump is trying to threaten Putin with two nuclear submarines. What is he going to do? Putin is unfazed. No one takes Trump seriously today. Trump can peddle all the fake news and lies, and nobody cares two hoots.

As they say, the dog barked, but the caravan moves on, just ignoring the mad dog.
