rufus: good to be with you. we should not read too much into the fact that they are agreed to meet again. that people were questioning whether the chinese would agree to meet after the escalation of tariffs in august, but we have seen this before. we have seen various rounds of tariff escalation followed by an agreement to meet. think,n't mean, i don't that there will be any signs of real, substantial change in the positions of either party. making progress at the negotiating table will be very tough, and just one meeting does not change the picture. the markets are grasping for any news it can get right now. the best we can expect is they get back into talking, and maybe the escalation of tariffs that trump has announced for december 1 and october 15 would be put back, if the discussions of the table begins to be a little bit more meaningful. amanda: all along, president trump has said he is fighting the good fight. he tweeted today, for all the geniuses out there, many in other administrations have been taken
