Wilbur Ross: ‘Gigantic’ China Trade Deal Gives US Access To $2B Market

#winning

Quote:The U.S. and China are working together on a trade deal that would allow the sale of beef, chicken and other major products between the world’s two largest economies.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told the FOX Business Network’s Neil Cavuto, the deal takes three “gigantic” steps to chip away at the nation’s crippling trade deficit.

“For more than a decade we’ve been trying to get legitimate U.S. beef exports into China and they had expressed some concerns about the mad cow disease… use of hormones. Now we’ve overcome those obstacles and as of July 16, the U.S. will be free to export livestock to China,” he said, adding that the U.S. would now have access to a $2 billion market.

President Trump touted the deal on Twitter this morning and fired back at critics saying “this is real news.”

This alone speaks volumes about OUR president. Oblunder wouldn't be able to make a deal to sell heaters in Greenland.

It also says that there's mutual respect by both countrys, at last.

Thought the beef deal was done back in September.

Opening U.S. natural gas and beef to China = the Texas economy getting even stronger. If it really happens, I like this deal.

**** off stink. It's on the front page.

Jeez, your post was this AM. Weed done did the deed to your mind.

I stand corrected....sometimes I don't review ALL the details....

either way, my posit still remains valid.....negotiating correctly with china was a given.....when a country owns over 5% of our debt (which I've referenced to ad nauseam), it's a gimme that one will negotiate trade/security deals that are in the best interests of the whole.....

that only makes 'cents' for everyone.....
