Q: "Is the administration talking to Beijing specifically about tariffs or not?" Bessent: "Well, we're not going to talk about who is talking to whom...I'm not going to get into the nitty gritty of who is talking to whom."

I thought this was the most transparent administration ever?

Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs.

Bessent translation: No. However, China is making their position clear in worldwide media.

"when it comes to talking, we're not gonna talk about who is talking and how the talking is done if you know what I'm talking about in terms of talks" My God, this MF is pathetic!

No answer

Why not talk about who is talking to whom?

Uh huh...

"Because anything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law."

Th is a “cover your ass because we are not getting anywhere with negotiations” press conference…

The answer is NO.

Trump also antagonized the rest of the World. That means that China is not isolated. They can find other markets. Fact of the matter is that they are ghosting the US. So the evidence is that Bessent and Trump miscalculated.
