Europe is not bending, they simple stated that they would end their tariffs if we did too. And as far as the soybeans, I guess farmers don't need that $12 billion then, right?
DUH!!!! That was the plan all along. How you people spin the things you do is hilarious and juvenile.
Obama kicked off negotiation of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Under TTIP, 97% of tariffs would be eliminated. Trump put a kbosh on TTIP and started a trade war instead.
Now we're getting back to the principles originally embraced by Obama under TTIP, and Trump will try to spin this like some big victory for him?

That's precisely how Trump and the Trumplings work. If Obama does it, it's a failure. If Trump does it, it's winning, even if they're the exact same thing.
As I indicated above, it would be just fine in Trumpland. If Trump preaches "tariffs! Protect jobs!" the Trumplings would shout WINNING! If Trump turns around and says "no tariffs at all! Free trade!" the Trumplings would shout WINNING!
If there are no tariffs i will call it a win for sure.
That's all I have ever wanted.
LOL
Funny because I didn't realize that was Trump's goal in the beginning.
Just did a read of campaign literature from Trump --- free trade agreements, like NAFTA, disproportionately benefit large corporations, ship U.S. jobs overseas, and sully the environment.
yup -- Trump didn't use to like free trade agreements.
But free trade for all -- does this mean he is learning to yield to what is best for the country -- WOO HOO...maybe -- that is a good sign.
