Trump came out swinging when he hit London. He let NATO members know he’s not happy with the six percent he’ll save in 2021. Trump wants to save more. And he wants Germany to pay more than the U.S. pays.
President Macron said NATO is brain dead thanks to the Trumpster. That comment made the orange hair on the back of the president neck stand straight up. He told the press Macron needs to shut his wine hole or he’ll lay more tariff pain on his ass.
Prince Andrew won’t be present to welcome the Trumpster to Buckingham Palace. Andrew tried to hide the fact he boned young girls when he hung out with Jeffrey Epstein. But one of his victims had a lot to say during a BBC interview. Virginia Giuffre let the Brits know the prince is a royal pervert. It seems Prince Charles and Prince William already knew Andrew was a dick, so they push the Queen to send Andy to permanent time-out.
The Trumpster gave Brazil and Argentina a jolt from his steel and aluminum tariff announcement. Mr. Trump claims those emerging markets manipulate currency to take Chinese soybean and beef orders away from American farmers. Brazil shipped millions of tons of soybeans to China in 2019. Mr. Trump blames the lost business on Brazil for undercutting American soybean prices. He said the same thing about Argentine beef.
The trade war hit another snag. Trump started threatening the Chinese when they told him he has to forget the December 15th tariffs if he wants a phase one win. Plus, the Chinese want Trump to drop all the tariffs after President Xi puts his Chinese symbol on the agreement. The president won’t drop the tariffs, according to Commerce Secretary Ross. Wilbur’s still trying to get on Trump’s good side for sleeping through department meetings.
Huawei’s CEO Ren Zhengfei said he will move his research center out of the U.S. and into Canada. Zhengfei let 600 American employees go earlier this year when Trump put Huawei on the blacklist. Ren wants to show Trump he doesn’t need U.S. tech companies to survive. Ren thinks it’s the other way around. Zhengfei also said his daughter Meng is the face of the trade war. Meng is still under house arrest in Canada thanks to the Trumpster.
Moving the Huawei research center is an economic and tech win for Canada. Ren wants help from Trudeau in January when Meng has another court date in Vancouver.
