re: Chinese put tariffs on LNG

Any reduction in the trade deficit over the next few years will be due to oil and gas exports as we are becoming an important world wide exporter.

Correct but does that mean we should get raped in other sectors?

IB I still can’t tell if your pro fair trade or not . Can you start a few more threads to make it clear.

I don’t understand why some of you guys hate Trumps trade war . As long as Trump doesn’t back down we will add a lot more jobs . Either China and other countries lower their tariffs are we export more good giving us more jobs . Or the other countries keep their high tariffs and the business come to the US to make products for the US . I don’t understand why democrats want to increase immigration but export jobs. Why do you democrats want everyone to have low paying jobs or no job at all ?

Conclusion: if you buy spot LNG you better be sure that you either have a sufficiently highly priced and performing sink position or the deal is done back to back. But that automatically denies LNG commodity status. And will continue to do so for a little while longer.

One of the main reasons is means of transport.

but won't these tariffs destroy their economy? You've been making 10 threads a day about how import tariffs are always bad. Chinese putting tariffs on our stuff = good for them. US putting tariffs on Chinese stuff = bad for us. I'm pretty sure at this point this guy is chinese

You are really are in denial

what i said was a fact. we were in a recession. we aren't now.

quote:

You are saying right here in this post that tariffs are not going to raise prices to US consumers

---

not what i was responding to. you said it will "dampen" the economy. the economy is looking good DESPITE trump's tariff war and alleged price increases. china's market taking a hit. eu bending the knee. splain

a trade deficit can absolutely be defined. it's crazy how this simple concept is eluding you

---

Trade deficits are not necessarily bad. In fact, many economists theorize that they are good for the economy.

That's not without tradeoffs, but overall it's a benefit.

In contrast, in countries where growth is led by demand, like the United States, the trade balance tends to worsen during growth stages of the business cycle. This is because these economies need to import even more goods than usual in order to grow.

In the meantime, we penalize US consumers (including commercial) for buying foreign products

oh my word THE ENTIRE COUNTRY HAS BEEN "BEING PENALIZED" FOR DECADES. so your solution is to just let it continue?

Are Trumpkins moving the bar?? Has the goal changed? Are you saying Trump has started a trade war that will not result in free trade?? What specific sectors are the ones that are important to Trumpkins?? Let me guess--those that get union votes in the upper midwest and PA??
