As Donald Trump indefinitely suspends new tariffs on Mexico, the US conservatives have fallen into line behind the president on trade.

With President Donald Trump threatening to slap tariffs on goods from Mexico, his transformation of the Republican Party's trade policy looked almost complete.

Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke expansively about his country's firm support for globalisation and open borders, saying that "we all must work to bring about a harmonious world." Trump has often turned to tariffs as a way to shape geopolitics. The threatened tariffs on all imports from Mexico was his way to curb the flow of migrants crossing the border.

"What we're talking about here is trying to change behaviour. Here, we need the Mexican government to help us with this avalanche of people that's coming."

Doesn't mean nothing. USA or China haven't lost a trade war. It's trade, there is no winner. But when the war starts USA will loose. It's not just China & Russia. China has north Korea as well.

Their mantra has been self reliance and free trade which is now in the gutter since Trump. Farmers in the US are on food stamps.

High seas clash between US, RussiaShirtless Russian sailors sunbaked on deck as their warship surged to within just 15m of a US cruiser yesterday in the most dramatic clash yet as the East ramps up its standoff with the West. The fact an employee of a news outlet can't use proper English to describe footage captured is sad enough for me to ask, how much the employee paid for that poor education? mentoring Nonsense! They were winding them up, not attempting to ram. This sort of thing has often happened in the past with making headlines. Have the Russians ever in world history admitted to wrong doing? And if it's a Russian doing the questioning they simply get eliminated.
