Politico article

quote:

BIARRITZ, France — President Donald Trump said Sunday that a trade deal with Japan “is done in principle.”

“We have been working on a deal with Japan for a long time,” he said at the G7 summit alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and teams from both countries. “It involves agriculture, it involves e-commerce. It involves many things. We’ve agreed in principle.”

“We have excess corn in various parts of our country ... and Prime Minister Abe on behalf of Japan they’re going to be buying all of that corn.”

Trump said he expects to sign the deal around meetings of the United Nations General Assembly next month in New York. “We’ve agreed to every point and now we’re papering it and we’ll be signing it at a formal ceremony.”


New NAFTA, holding China's feet to the fire, new deal with Japan all but signed, new deal with the UK in the works... and he's only been at the job for less than one term.

All this within a single term, MOB is doing fricking WORK!

Treaties are ratified by the Senate not the House.

I wonder if we could get some deals done with some southeastern Asian countries like Vietnam and the Philippines in order to start siphoning manufacturing from China.

One thing that we must do in 2020 is flip the House. As long as Pelosi and the Jihad Squad have the majority, they will do everything possible to deny President Trump his justly earned accomplishments.

I mean, have they even ratified the USMCA? If they have, then I missed it.
