President Donald Trump said this morning the U.S. is dropping plans to revoke Chinese student visas in exchange for China resuming the flow of rare earth minerals to the U.S.
Replies
Trump is once again negotiating with himself. Just waiting for Xi's rep to say that China will NOT resume flow of rare earth minerals no matter what TACO says.

Trump validates China using rare earths (previous red line) as negotiating tool. So the bluster was for nothing and weakened our negotiating position going forward.

Resuming being the key word. Not increasing. He caused all this mess to end up right where it started. He accomplished nothing.

Isn’t this where the United States was before Trump started blowing up trade relations with China?

Sounds more like a hostage exchange than a trade deal. We are trading humans for REM? Vile.

I'm betting the influx of Chinese students will dribble to basically nothing. Europe will attract them, not the US. In China may actively discourage their coming to the US.

I am glad he is dropping the student visa redtrictions. And yet he always barters with peoples lives, futures and livlihoods in the balance. Because it is meaningless to him.

The President is clearly a ‘transactional’ negotiator. Going forward that is how to get things done. 👍

What a genius! Too bad second and third order effects never enter into his thinking...

It’s become a guessing game with the economy, will he do this or that , change his mind, read a new blog, listen to another extremist right winger like the professional hater Steven miller. No one knows.

A complete farce. We won't do what we were thinking about doing if you agree to keep doing what you've always done. The Art of the Deal. 🙄
