President Trump used tariffs as a negotiating tactic, meant to hurt China's economy and pressure Beijing to agree to a new trade deal that addresses unfair trade practices, such as intellectual property theft. But the tariffs have hurt Americans, too.

Washington President Donald Trump is set to sign a"phase one" trade deal with China on Wednesday, but the agreement -- which has been almost two years in the making -- won't lift the tariffs he's imposed on Chinese-made goods.

The deal is expected to leave tariffs on about $370 billion of goods, or nearly two-thirds of what the United States imports from China. The taxes have raised the price for items such as baseball hats, luggage, bicycles, TVs, sneakers, and a variety of materials used by American manufacturers.

We won't be given billions to China Every year ! Plus stealing our technology! It's a great win for the president and our country!! Even though the dems Would have left it the way it was! 😝😝😝😝 horrible!!!!

all these jobs created and wising wages suck

Compared to the billions lost in the last 30 years? The left doesn't like hard decisions.

Hey CNN, we won!

That's the problem. realDonaldTrump hurts Americans the most and his 'targets' get the secondary effects. Truly is 'America First' in terms of harm and vengeance!

Costa alto of jobs I know that .. didn't create em we lost em .. but whatever ... yall continue to think we on some good path .. ur pay stub says I DONT THINK SO SISTER NOT THIS WEEK. YEA I SAID SISTER WE DONT MAKE LIKE A MAN

I quit purchasing anything that comes from China 🇨🇳. Until they quit killing Dogs & Cats and eating them . I’m Vegan 🌱 I could never eat animals I love them .. Boycotting China 🇨🇳

You have to give to get. Our sacrifice is far less than China. That’s why they are in agreement with realDonaldTrump tariff plan.

And, don’t forget the import tariffs he put into steel and aluminium in 2017, meaning, an immediate rise for American- made metal also. Inflationary practice.

this time the Chinese will put the pressure on trump for the assassination of GhasemSoleimani Beijing want him to forget HongKongProtests & with him been impeach & uncertain future they know TRUMP will sign anything to have a agreement for Trump2020

Not good for Africa. China leaning to Africa for trade which is effecting our mineral resources and enviroment. Especially forusts / trees in Africa being exported.

Trump could have got everything he asked from China and CNN would still be critical. Remember America, CNN is propaganda machine to control masses
