You can't have the State run its own course
It's embarrassing even for the Fed gov that it took so long to happen! Sure the agreement was made when things were good, but back when trade started going bad it should have been vetoed!
To do nothing all year and leave it out there while weathering all sorts of disputes is pathetic. Instead of doing it on a slow news day and further stoking the fires up again it could have been killed off months ago when tensions were high anyway!


"Dear China: This has nothing to do with international trade or our stance on China, but is a state and internal matter."

That's all they should have said ages ago when they should have vetoed it, ie not stoking up new stuff on a slow news day and saying even more than that or whatever else Payne said. Less said the better, earlier done the better!

The timing reeks of incompetence, the remarks reek of arrogance.
Typical of this government.
