Bullet point 5 is entitled, “Appropriately handling the ZTE case to secure global supply chain.”

“Having noted China’s great concern about the case of ZTE, the U.S. will listen attentively to ZTE’s plea, consider the progress and efforts ZTE has made in compliance management and announce adjustment to the export ban,” the document states.

Sweetened by half a billion dollars in Trump development. I guess national security is transparent pandering.

When did Trump ever make a secret out of the fact that he would and could do favorable things for China based on how helpful they were with North Korea?

Pay for performance. Using American power to achieve something that actually helps America rather than backroom giveaways to Obama's camel-land buddies who want to kill us.

WINNING!

Did you actually understand the article? This has nothing to do with North Korea. Whatever happens to NK how does that benefit Americans? This is about trade mate. And if you already pussy out before the trade war even begins then you lose every bit of respect.

That does not look like winning but like a very bad way to negotiate.

Okay, let me process this. Perhaps others can help me.

You post an article about Trump doing something for China and "this has nothing to do with North Korea."

Have you been out on the Mothership for the last six months or something?

If you cared more than just insulting and causing division you would have noticed that I did not post the article. But contrary to you I have actually read the article and understand it's content.

Ahhh, no. If you are saying it has nothing to do with North Korea then you understood neither the article nor the context behind it.

From the article:

Trump took a big step in that direction Sunday when he tweeted that he had instructed the Commerce Department to help get ZTE “back into business, fast,” only weeks after the Commerce Department cut off its supply of American components because it violated U.S. sanctions on sales to North Korea

North Korea is the leverage the Chinese are using against us in most aspects of our foreign relations with them.

Undoubtedly, Pyongyang and Beijing are moving hand in glove as they properly stick it to our great negotiator of a president. Trump is in deep right now.

You still don't get it. That Trump makes u-turns each week displays his idiocy. You are reading tea leaves and give credit to a narcissistic guy who is afraid to not ever be the main topic under discussion.

Trump is on the edge for sure.

Do you think he should just mail them a big check for doing nothing and leave it at that as Obama would have done?

Also, if this thing poops out, do you and your ilk think that we should give the hostages back just to make sure that Trump gets credit for nothing?
