>Now, did you really expect negotiation with China? Do you think that was the intention?

I'm baffled by your comment. Didn't you just say that the tariffs are a negotiation tool?

I don't track geopolitics, especially the US, too closely, so I'm not the best person to go down that rabbit hole - especially since minds brighter than me here also struggle to understand what's happening. So I would appreciate if you explain what your mean instead of asking rethorical questions.
