Trump to sign executive orders addressing trade deficit

This is the kind of thing that gave the election to Trump. He promised to work in America’s interests, and to put Americans first. And he will, unless the saboteurs and America-haters on the left stop him from doing so.

“Trump To Sign Executive Orders Cracking Down On Trade One Week Before Chinese President’s Visit,” by Kaitlan Collins, Daily Caller, March 31, 2017:

Donald Trump will sign a pair of executive orders Friday in his first move to fulfill one of his major campaign promises — reshaping the U.S. trade policy.

According to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, the president will sign an order giving the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative 90 days to create a report that targets every form of trade abuse and every nonreciprocal practice that contributes to the U.S. trade deficit.

“We are going to be very busy during the next 90 days,” Ross said during a call with reporters Thursday night. “What this report will do is within 90 days, come back to the president with the detailed causes by country and by major product.”

“It will form the basis for decision-making by the administration subsequently and that will be decision-making that will be based on hard facts, not theories.”

The second executive action, White House National Trade Council head Peter Navarro said, will direct a review of the lax enforcement of an “under-collection” of anti-dumping and counterveiling duties. Navarro said this will fortify the collection of penalties on unfairly traded foreign products.

“The problem here is that this isn’t just money lost to the Treasury,” Navarro said during the same call. “It’s the fact that the domestic workers and the domestic manufacturers who were supposed to be being defended against these unfair trade practices were not being defended because of this under-collection.”

“Nothing we’re saying tonight is about China,” Navarro added. “Let’s not make this a China story. This is a story about trade abuses, this is a story about an under-collection of duties.”

The moves on trade come one week before Trump is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago next weekend.

China with trade surplus of $485 Billion plus every year is the biggest manupilator.

They deserve the trade equivalent of what these Politically incorrect horse are dishing out to their tormentors http://tinyurl.com/jew6y74 . LOL !

I sell small hardrock mining equipment. An American made jaw crusher is $10,000. A Chinese made one is only $2,000 and will do the same thing. The American one is more rugged but you can break 5 Chinese ones and still be even. A Canadian crusher is less than an American crusher but still much more than a Chin one. What to do?

America is getting back into the business world after 8 years of socialist manipulation but democrats who had sold their grandmothers and anyone to thing else that would make them a fast dollar. There are going to be some massive changes coming. for the better. Western europe is retreating from the global marketplace, there is room for America, but they will have to beat the orient.

I hope that Trump Team protects themselves from the Trudeew fiasco. Canada may well be on the way to becoming another Germany with Turdeews call to all the refugees/invaders to please come to Canada.

Canada may well be on their way to being a third world country. Nobody will want to lend them money any longer because of their deficit and borrowing practices. Plus the fact that none of the borrowed money is being spent on Canadians.

Canada for a few years now has been on it’s way to becoming a Third World country. Service from companies is often pathetic, Third World level. Why? Because for years now Canada has allowed into the country millions of Third World people with low education and low standards. Yesterday I contested things with Bell and Primus and it was disgusted at the time wasted. The English of those spoken to was poor and in both cases trying to convey the problem was like talk to a brick wall. Went to a diagnostic centre for a knee x-ray and it was just as poor with slovenly service from immigrants behind the reception counter. All over this now pretty much ‘normal’, and in many cases ‘attitude’ you encounter stinks. A pity the country didn’t bring in more Filipinos!

Somehow I seem to end up dealing with lots of Filipinos. Most of them give good public relations service. However if you get a french person on the other end, you will probably not get good service. And their accents! Many times I have had to tell them I CANNOT UNDERSTAND them and disconnect.

If French speaking no doubt there can be a problem, but in my experience most Filipinos are very pleasant people with whom to deal, collectively the nicest people.
