I'm telling you, it's no surprise they didn't see eye-to-eye on most issues
. I mean, come on, Trump and Xi are like oil and water – they just don't mix
. The fact that China wanted Washington to back off its plans to impose tariffs is a total giveaway – it's all about China trying to save face, fam
.
And can we talk about how Trump wants more market access for the US? Like, doesn't he know that's exactly what got them into this trade mess in the first place
? It's all about playing hardball and pushing for what they want. Meanwhile, Xi is over here playing it cool, trying to keep China's interests at heart
.
Anyway, I'm not holding my breath for a deal anytime soon
. These talks are gonna drag on forever, and we'll just end up with the same old stalemate
. But hey, at least they're trying, right?
but what about xi's perspective? doesn't he want protection for his own industries too? 
these two are not going to magically find common ground just 'cause they had coffee together 
️. there are bigger issues at play here, like the impact of trade on everyday ppl in both countries... we're still waiting to see what comes out of these talks 
. One minute they're gonna get all up in each other's grill, the next they're pretending to be friends again. I mean, come on, it's not like this is the first time these guys have gone at it over trade 
. Trump wants China to open up its markets and let some American goods in, while Xi just wants to protect his own interests and keep those tariffs coming 
.
. They're bluffing, negotiating, and making deals behind each other's backs. It's like they're trying to outsmart each other instead of actually working towards something concrete 
. It's like a never-ending game of chess, except instead of pieces on a board, they're using their entire economies 
.
just read about the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping 
Trump wants China to open up its markets more 
but Xi is all like "no way" 
maybe they can find some common ground
