The stage is set for President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to finalize a trade deal.
At issue are tightening Chinese restrictions on metals, materials, and magnets needed for U.S.
cars, weaponry, and chips.
Besson says Trump's threat of hiked levies delayed the new rare-earth licensing regime.
Besant also says he expects China to revive their buying of U.S.
soybeans, but he added nothing is final until Trump and Xi meet on Thursday.

We also agreed on substantial agriculture purchases for U.S.
farmers.

We wanted to make sure that there aren't price increases, Margaret, and thus far there have been no price increases. Everything has been alarmist, that the inflation numbers are actually dropping. We saw the first drop of inflation in four years. The inflation numbers last week, they were very pro-consumer.

And I think the important thing here, and it goes a little bit back to this Main Street versus the elites, that Harvard, to have a tax-exempt status, there are rules you have to follow. And if you're not following the rules... No one's above the law. So we will see if they're following the rules.
It looks like there's a substantial number where perhaps they weren't. And, you know, again, too, Harvard is a gigantic hedge fund. They run a leveraged investment model. So we'll see where all that goes.
Did you get fired for making fun of Puffy?
Who I met backstage.
He's a great, great young man.
