    Tell me, how come that in this case I believe in what China says without even checking anything? Why is it so easy to believe that Trump lies? Hmm?

        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.

      I was thinking the same thing. I would doubt almost any other report of china saying something different than another nation, but when trump is involved, they’re somehow the more credible source.

      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.
