China threatens to respond ‘in kind’ if President Trump imposes higher tariffs on FridayThe warning from China’s commerce ministry comes as China’s vice premier arrives in Washington for another round of trade talks. The statement suggested that China was prepared to retaliate with higher tariffs on American products in response to Trump’s threats. This is a developing story.

Trump will cave to the Chinese, just like he did to N Korea, then claim he actually won, just like he has been claiming he is a great business man. The facts never matter, it is all about the confidence game. The great Grifter.
