Buffalo_Gal Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm not sure the EU officials interviewed know what "bluff" really means. But, apparently, the WTO is having issues.EU calls Trump’s bluff as he takes an ax to the WTOThe big question is whether the US president wants to reform the WTO or kill it.

Steve ScaliseVerified account @SteveScalise 8h8 hours ago More President @realDonaldTrump's renegotiated trade deal with Mexico will be a huge victory for American workers, and will send a strong message to other countries around the world that we will be happy to enter trade deals that benefit both countries equally.

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Some are losing their shirt to a tune of a million a day with the steel tariffs. I know somebody that deals in steel. They have computer programs that "hide" inventory between say the US and Canada... Saying it is in a warehouse here when it really isn't... It's gotta be highly illegal??? Not naming names, I don't know how true it really is... But I wouldn't put it past companies to devise complex computer schemes, accounting, etc... Who knows who's watching the hen house, regulating in a 24/7, instant tech world. At the lock (work)... Still see barges coming in with rolls, coils, sheets stamped "Made in Mexico." I rough ballpark, not looking at the numbers, I would say a million tons of foreign metal still passes through that I see. I should run a report for this year, to see if I am in ballpark. About 7 to 8 million tons (everything) passes through a year. This year I would be able to pick up the downbound steel products... That would probably indicate our domestic product leaving the states to the world, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are rushing this because there is some time limit that needs to be met so it can be ratified before a new congress comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 "Unexpectedly" Ummm no. We've seen this before and I think we've got it down now. For President Trump they announce lower numbers, revise upward later to higher numbers. For Obama, they announced higher numbers, quietly revised to lower numbers later. https://www.nasdaq.com/article/us-gdp-growth-unexpectedly-upwardly-revised-to-42-in-q2-20180829-00612 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
