    This deal is dead. Why is China going to play ball now with the new tariff regime? They've already launched retaliatory tariffs this morning.

    Trump wants to tariff $800B of Chinese goods 54%, do you think Xi cares about a $50B TikTok deal by comparison, this is peanuts.

    He kills domestic industries on a whim, why does he care about the US branch of a social network?
