“President Trump on Sunday announced that China would ‘reduce and remove’ its tariffs on American automobiles, one day after the White House negotiated a temporary cease-fire in its trade war with Beijing,” Politico reports.

“There was no immediate confirmation for Trump’s claim, and the timetable for China’s rollback on the automobile duties remains unclear.l

Politico: “As he crisscrossed Buenos Aires, posing for photos with dignitaries and boasting about his accomplishments, Trump left behind a trail of exaggerations meant to paper over the fractious first half of his term and rebrand himself as a globe-trotting statesman. It’s the Art of the G-20, by Donald Trump. The 45th president is writing his own rulebook on how to claim credit and respect on an international stage where many leaders have looked down on him for years.”

“But just as his famous 1987 book counseled, Trump’s global deal-making was as much about style as substance, with grandiose talk the most important ingredient of all. The president arrived back in Washington on Sunday feeling triumphant, believing his latest international trip to be a resounding success.”

Incoming Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told Axios he may try to make it harder for the president to impose new tariffs.

“Grassley said he would take a favorable view of legislation limiting the administration’s power to impose tariffs to protect national security (known as Section 232 authority).”

Said Grassley: “Maybe the definition of national security or maybe the conditions under which national security could be used as an excuse is a little wide.”
