A word of warning from a good friend in England. Stock up on anything you normally buy that comes from other countries. They are all going to stop trading with the US. It is amazing how many products labled "Made in the USA" have materials in them that come from other countries.

Were the friends biddies clucking in a pub or dude(ttes) chatting via their iPhones/iPads? Or maybe on an Android phone/tablet? Or on Microsoft Surface tablets?

I seem to remember that we as Americans stopped listening to the opinions of any British people way back in 1776.

So, Trump backed off the tariff threats after talks seem to have progressed. That de-escalated quickly.

It's funny how often that happens. It's almost as if it's part of Trump's negotiation strategy.
