huawei, snake in the grass according to team usa rule-by-making-up-rules law-makers, is leaking like s sieve oops, I meant Gary, not huawei but of course what the suspect msm does not yet realise is that trump can do whatever the phuck he pleases, as and when he pleases, even if simply and deliberately to leave a messy state-of-is to the next guy to clean up, just for the heck of it, which I suppose suits the deep-state just fine, unless trump messes up what deep-state does not want messed up 2020 should be interesting. trump is just having great fun. the problem is all with his counter-parties, domestic and foreign scmp.com Gary Cohn, former economic adviser to Donald Trump, says US is ‘desperate’ to sign trade agreement with China ‘The president needs a win,’ says Gary Cohn, ex-director of the National Economic Council, but Trump insists he’s in no rush for a deal Gary Cohn, the former director of US President Donald Trump’s National Economic Council, said the United States was “desperate right now” for a trade pact with China as negotiators from both countries seek to reach a deal. “The president needs a win,” Cohn said in an interview with the Freakonomics podcast, according to a transcript released on Wednesday. Cohn’s comments stand in contrast to statements from Trump that he is in no rush for an agreement and is prepared to walk away from negotiations. Trump said on Wednesday that a deal has to be “right” and that it must include provisions stopping the theft of US intellectual property. “I’m not in a rush whatsoever,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Cohn said that he maintained a “very amicable relationship” with Trump and that they have talked about the economy and personnel since he left the White House in March 2018. On trade with China, Cohn said the biggest questions were how to stop Chinese theft of intellectual property and copyright infringement. “The only big open issue right now that he could claim as a big win that he’d hope would have a big impact on the stock market would be a Chinese resolution,” Cohn said of a trade agreement. “Getting the trade deficit down I will never say is easy, but of the issues on the table, that’s relatively easier.” ‘Like pulling teeth’: China, US far apart on structural changes by Beijing On another topic, Cohn said he would not be the right person to serve as chairman of the Federal Reserve. But he didn’t close the door on one day serving as treasury secretary. “I am totally not the person to be the chairman of the Fed. That is — that would be the worst position you could give to Gary Cohn,” said Cohn, former president of Goldman Sachs. Before Trump’s November 2017 nomination of Jerome Powell to lead the Fed, the president had suggested in public and in private that Cohn was on his shortlist of potential nominees. There was no indication then that Cohn had removed himself from consideration for the job, but Cohn told podcast host Stephen Dubner that the position would not have been right for him. “It’s a real, real, real academic position sitting with PhD economists all day long and debating the economic tilt/slant micro of the US economy,” he said. “It’s not my skill set. One of my successes in life is knowing what I’m good at, and more importantly knowing what I’m not good at. I would not have been good at that job.”
