Be wary... some of these so called wins in retrospect years later are merely "saving face" agreements where each side claims success in their press.
For example the canadian huge new agreement with Canada and USA to allow dairy and eggs from USA (one third the price compared to socialist canadian products) into canada is RESTRICTED TO BARELY ONE PERCENT OF TOTAL CANADIAN CONSUMPTION!!!!
HA!
Of course if not limits, then the entire socialist economy of canada would go out of business in a year or two and all dairy and eggs and cheese would be eventually be USA products, so I understand SOME limits.
But the outrageous canadian tariffs kick in at barely a measly one percent of import tonnage.
Its just called "saving face" politics, but I assume Trump's deals are still far better not worse, than any prior deals.

I would have liked to see the 25% tariffs on China go into effect...might still given China's negotiation history. The way to handle Chinese imports is to stop buying their lame crap. Its terrible. Start a website called "Chinese Crap" and list all the consumer goods made in China that crapped out within a year or less of purchase and where they were bought. Boycott!

Well well...I can see tomorrows MSM headline..."Trump Bitch-Slaps Mary Barry"...and just after she announced closing GM plants in North America in favor of their shiny new 12 Billion $$$ Chinese (could have paid off their tax payer bail out debt!!!) plants they built to avoid the Chinese tariffs. Any bets on how long before the board dumps her lame looser ass?

The move represents a crackdown on the deadly synthetic opioid which kills well over 100 people a day in the U.S."

He didn't win. Basically China and the US announced a 90 day ceasefire. None of the hard issues were addressed yet.
This is not going to stop farm bankruptcies.
This is a truce.

Not yet tired of winning! If by energy products, the announcement is pertaining to oil and natural gas, then it also undercuts Russia. Sad that POTUS' detractors can't seem to connect those dots when they accuse him of being Putin's puppet.
