Re: China's different tactics
CORRECTION, apparently those remain in place but the threat of further tariffs has been dropped.. Now we know why Trump went for that deal.
If that is the case, then Trump got a good deal. Well, other than the fact that the tariffs still hurt us.

Re: China's different tactics
And I’m not so sure that shuffling the soybeans around a bit differently is going to cost the EU much. I doubt that the Chinese demand for soybeans will drop significantly, they’ll just get them from elsewhere.
Correct. What Trump gets out of it is a market for some of the soybeans that China won't buy from the US. That should relieve some of the political pressure on some of his Republican Congressmen a bit.
