And there have been other reports of diplomats coming forward to negotiate the tariffs with the US and leave without a deal because the US didn't have anything to discuss and/or didn't bring the people with the authority to make a deal.

Apparently when Japan asked what exactly the US wanted out of a trade deal, they couldn't get a straight answer.

Because Trump's motivation to lie is clear here. China on the other hand has no reason to lie about negotiating.

Because of our experience. Trump did this shit last time.

  1. Announce a LIE about talking to China about trade wars on Friday.
  2. Have the markets react.
  3. Make trades.
  4. Have someone ask China about it after the rally.
  5. China denies talks.
  6. Stock market reacts.

Absolutely nothing.

Were can I get a browser addon to autoreplace any "Trump says ." with "Trump lies again." (no I don't even care about what this time...)?

You reached the end

Trump says the U.S. and China are 'actively' discussing tariffs. Beijing says that's false. | Spyke
