Agree or disagree?
In terms of the actual context?
Assuming one even cares about context rather than gotcha's in this day-and-age, of course one would agree 100% with Ross.

You cannot start a war, and reasonably expect the other side to remain diplomatic at same time.

Fairly simple pretext actually.

Good grief, a short sentence doesn't provide context.

There are more negotiations going on than just trade and all at the same time.

Fricking narrow minded view by the poster for sure

Well then I guess you'd have to agree that these tariff announcements were a dumb approach to negotiating?

What possible other context could you fathom for these statements than a justification for backing down from the tariffs we announced?
