The United States has approached China seeking talks over President Donald Trump’s 145% tariffs, a social media account affiliated with Chinese state media said on Thursday, potentially signalling Beijing’s openness to negotiations. “The U.S. has proactively reached out to China through multiple channels, hoping to hold discussions on the tariff issue,” Yuyuan Tantian said in a post published on its official Weibo social media account, citing anonymous sources.

        I bet they tell trump to eat rocks unless he comes clean with the world about his bullshit tariffs. He won’t, of course, so nothing will come of this.

        He says all countries have ripped off the USA, even ones that have penguins only in them. He is going to learn that lying has consequences. It will be the first time in his life that he will learn this lesson, so we should take it easy on him(/s).
