Any bets on whether or not this gets finalized, and the final deal is anything but a nothingburger?lexofer said:You do know China, Japan and South Korea have been negotiating a free trade agreement because of this mess? One of the main areas is China is to supply semiconductor raw materials and Japan/Korea to supply chips to China.FobTies said:
Japan and US likely get a deal done. They are the enemy of our Chinese enemy. Each deal is a step towards ending this trade deficit nonsense. We should start to see victory described as reducing foreign costs and burdens imposed on America, instead of onshoring a manufacturing job boom.

I will even let you suggest a way to measure meaningfulness.
These countries hate each other with a deep-seated racism that makes Jim Crow look like a toddlers game. You would find less inter-group hate than a room of San Francisco politicians, US Marines, and Russian oil industry oligarchs.
It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.
