Trump Surrenders To China Before Trade Talks Begin

China may have already won the latest trade war before negotiations even start

BREAKING NEWS: As US-China trade negotiations commence in Switzerland this weekend, Trump's administration is already signaling weakness that undermines America's leverage. Swiss Economy Minister Guy Parmelin's statement about a "possible mutual suspension of customs duties" reveals what may be happening behind the scenes - a potential American capitulation before substantive talks have even begun.

"We could imagine everything – we could imagine a mutual suspension of customs duties during the course of the discussions. That's up to the parties," Guy Parmelin told reporters, describing one hypothetical outcome of the talks.

Yesterday Trump said the US was “very close” to a deal with China.
