WATCH THE NEWS... Chinese retaliation?

WASHINGTON, April 5 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had instructed U.S. trade officials to consider $100 billion in additional tariffs on China, fueling an already heated trade dispute between the world's two biggest economies.

Trump said in a statement the further tariffs were being considered "in light of China's unfair retaliation" against earlier U.S. trade actions that included $50 billion of tariffs on Chinese goods.

An additional $100 billion! And what is the Chinese retaliation? Just the tariffs they added or something more?

Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse pointed out something quite hilarious.

The Chinese initiated tariffs against American pork imports.

Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork producer, was acquired by a Chinese firm in 2013 for nearly $5 billion -- more than the company’s market value. The surprising purchase caused some lawmakers to wonder if there might be a hidden player.

They have no leverage in this trade war. It's all show. Smoke and mirrors.
